ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a special training program can help doctors communicate better when delivering bad news to patients and their families, particularly in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The focus is on using simulated situations to practice these difficult conversations, so that medical students can feel more confident and skilled in these important discussions.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a resident working in the ICU. The study is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to help improve the way healthcare providers share challenging information with families. If you join, you can expect to take part in training sessions that will help you learn and practice these communication skills in a supportive environment. This could ultimately enhance the care and support offered to families during tough times.
