Ep. 88 - Shared Decision Making: a powerful patient perspective with Terri Coutee

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We see so many patients every day, every week - we're hopefully helping thousands of patients throughout our careers as OncoPTs. But what can sometimes get lost is that patients often only see <strong>one of us</strong>: one oncologist, one (or two surgeons, depending), one physical therapist. We know our stuff because we see it all the time! Not the case for patients, & they can often feel like they're being thrown from one treatment to the next, without much patient input.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>What is crucial & missing many times is shared decision making with patients. Yes, we as OncoPTs can help make this part of the standard care for patients with cancer. How? Glad you asked.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
