In today's healthcare landscape, it is essential to incorporate the patient's voice in shared decision-making, where the clinician acts as an advisor. This approach ensures that the best practices are developed by incorporating the patient's perspective. This session aims to provide clinicians with the necessary skills to incorporate patient perspectives and develop treatment plans that align with the patient's needs. We will challenge clinicians to consider how they can transform their approach to patient care and create a more patient-centered practice.
