ABSTRACTBackground Managing uncertainty is an essential element of patient-centered communication (PCC) and shared decision making (SDM), yet we know little about how residents’ reactions to uncertainty are related to their perceptions of their ability to engage in these important activities. This longitudinal study assesses whether residents’ self-perceived PCC and SDM skills are associated with their reactions to uncertainty throughout residency.
