Effects of blended learning training for oncology physicians to advise their patients about complementary and integrative therapies: Results from the multicenter cluster-randomized KOKON-KTO trial

Many oncology physicians are confronted with the topic of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) by cancer patients. This study examined whether a blended learning (e-learning and a workshop) to train oncology physicians in providing advice on CIM therapies to their cancer patients, in addition to distributing an information leaflet about reputable CIM websites, had diferent effects on physician-reported outcomes in regard to consultations compared with only distributing the leaflet.
