This year, the Bavarian General Practitioners' Association Foundation's doctoral prize was awarded for the first time. This is intended to help emphasize the scientific importance of general practice and make GP care even more visible in research and teaching. The silver doctoral prize, which was awarded twice and is endowed with 1,500 euros, was awarded to Flora Wendel's dissertation on the topic "Effects of participatory decision-making on the vaccination rates of adults in outpatient care". Congratulations!
