Decision Aid Cards

Strengthen Clinical Decision-Making

This series of decision aid cards translate evidence-based clinical knowledge into practical tools for communication, shared decision-making, prevention, and treatment planning. Each will give students structured approaches for discussing common clinical decisions with patients. Students will learn that appropriate treatment is not simply about identifying the "best" clinical option, and learn to weigh:

Clinical evidence
Patient preferences
Functional needs
Treatment burden
Quality of life
