简要总结
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a consultation training program for physicians on the quality of their consultations of breast cancer patients regarding complementary medicine. We assume that the training program might enhance the communication of relevant information, empathy of the physicians or satisfaction with the consultation.

研究组 & 干预措施
Consultation by a trained physician
The physicians of this group receive a free consultation training program on skills regarding consultations on complementary medicine for breast-cancer patients. The training was developed by a multi-professional team and is comprised of three parts: (1) online-training, (2) on-site-training, and (3) consultation manual. Each of the physicians will counsel 10 patients. The patients in this group therefore receive a consultation by a trained physician.
干预措施: Consultation by a trained physician (Behavioral)
Consultation by an untrained physician
The physicians of the control arm receive no training. Each will counsel 10 patients. The patients in this group therefore receive a consultation by an untrained physician.
干预措施: Consultation by an untrained physician (Behavioral)
