Medical Genetics And Choosing Wisely Canada
Dr. Tyler Peikes
The Choosing Wisely movement has grown tremendously internationally across all disciplines in medicine, as well as nursing and allied health. Choosing Wisely Canada launched in 2014 and has since fostered dialogue at the level of national clinician societies to inform individual practitioners as well as shape policy. CCMG has been actively involved since 2015, initially publishing a list of “5 tests and treatments to question.” This list was recently updated with 7 additional recommendations. This presentation will introduce trainees to Choosing Wisely and then review the Medical Genetics recommendations in depth to frame experiences in training and direct further learning.
Learning Objectives
- Reflect on the “Choosing Wisely” movement and philosophy.
- Describe the consensus-building approach to successful collaboration.
- Review the 12 recommendations, rationales and evidence.
- Apply the recommendations to practice and further learning.
