Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed low vaccination rates among the elderly in France and identified barriers to their immunization.
- A qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with seniors revealed that while they prioritize health through exercise and diet, they do not view vaccination as crucial for preventing infections.

Importance: Residents must prepare for effective communication with patients after medical errors. The video-based communication assessment (VCA) is software that plays video of a patient scenario, asks the physician to record what they would say, engages crowdsourced laypeople to rate audio recordings of physician responses, and presents feedback to physicians.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of VCA feedback in resident error disclosure skill training.
