Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a special training program for primary care doctors can help improve treatment adherence and overall outcomes for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the training program help patients with COPD take their medications more regularly?
* Does it reduce the number of COPD flare-ups (exacerbations)?
* Does it improve how well doctors follow current treatment guidelines for COPD?

In this study:

* Primary care doctors will be randomly assigned to either receive the training or continue their usual care without intervention.
* The training includes updated information about COPD, a workshop on inhaler use, and a course on motivational interviewing (a method to support behavior change)
* The care of their patients with COPD will be reviewed over 12 months to see if the program made a difference in medication use, flare-ups, and other outcomes.
