PANACEA Learning Materials

[ ]

PANACEA’s learning materials bring the topic to life with clear, structured content for students and ready-to-use resources for instructors: concise texts, illustrative images, organized mindmaps, and self-check e-learning tests with instant feedback to track progress—everything hosted in the PANACEA webapp for easy classroom or self-study use. The theoretical backbone spans eight modules that cover the field end-to-end: (1) concepts & history; (2) mechanisms (expectations, learning, emotions, physiology); (3) assessing placebo/nocebo effects and responses; (4) placebo/nocebo in clinical trials and practice; (5) factors influencing placebo; (6) factors influencing nocebo; (7) ethics & critical evaluation; and (8) open-label placebo.

PANACEA Syllabus

Introducing the PANACEA syllabus—your roadmap for teaching and learning about placebo and nocebo. It clarifies what students can expect and supports instructors in delivering a structured, evidence-based course across three learning domains: Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude. Eight theory modules (available via the PANACEA webapp) cover the historical development, mechanisms, influencing factors, clinical trials and practice, ethics, and open-label placebo. The Skills and Attitude components foster communication, relationship-building, and professional reflection through group activities aligned with the PANACEA clinical recommendations; all supporting documents are accessible in the webapp. Built-in assessment includes formative MCQs with instant feedback and explanations, plus summative components to evaluate mastery—while instructors can adapt methods to their context.
