A Percentage of correct diagnoses of ES, PNES and SY at time points pre and post I. For each event type except FBTCS and SY, a significant increase was observed. B Also at the single event level, an increase in correct diagnoses is given in 14 out of 15 events (only FIAS B1 with ictal speech, prominent manual and subtle oral automatisms was correctly rated before the course in 91.7% and at post I in 90.9%). SY remain misdiagnosed at post I compared to ES and PNES. C Radar plots show participant’s diagnoses at time point pre (blue) and post I (red), ES are split up into FIAS and FBTCS. Pre-course FIAS, PNES and in particular SY showed a more diverse attribution of SLE (= larger area under the curve) including the diagnosis “other” (= no ES, PNES or SY) than FBTCS. After the course, FIAS, FBTCS and PNES were more consistently diagnosed correctly. In SY, the number of correct diagnoses increased, too, but the rate of misdiagnoses remained high
