This continuation study evaluates from the patient perspective the effectiveness of an individualized training in Breaking Bad News (BBN) in undergraduate medical education. Our previous study showed that medical students benefited from a simulated patient (SP) encounter, followed by an individual supervision based on the filmed SP encounter, with a significant increase of their communication performance in BBN post-training as rated by experts. This continuation study aims to (i) explore the patient perspective on students’ improved communication behaviour and (ii) better understand the benefits of such trainings.
