Although hydroxyurea (HU) is an effective treatment for sickle cell anemia, uptake remains low. Shared decision making (SDM) is a recommended strategy for HU initiation to elicit family preferences; however, clinicians lack SDM training. We implemented an immersive virtual reality (VR) curriculum at eight pediatric institutions to train clinicians on SDM that included counseling virtual patients. Clinicians’ self-reported confidence significantly improved following the VR simulations on all communication skills assessed, including asking open-ended questions, eliciting specific concerns, and confirming understanding (ps ≤ 0.01 for all). VR may be an effective method for educating clinicians to engage in SDM for HU.
