Taking OAB Seriously: A Qualitative Evaluation of Primary Care Education on Overactive Bladder Syndrome Management.
Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome has a diverse etiology that disrupts quality of life domains in affected patients. OAB is significantly under-recognised and undertreated, especially in the primary care setting. In order to educate primary care providers about OAB recognition, evaluation and management, we created a virtual live-streamed and enduring education program. ⋯ Participant responses were congruent with education messages, which likely reflect their "readiness to learn". The rationale for diagnostic tests and evidence on the effectiveness of behavioural regimens represent ongoing areas of unmet educational need.
