Shared Decision Making and Patient Empowerment in O&P

In this episode, guest host Molly Winget, CO and prosthetic resident at Boston O&P, talks with Chelsey Anderson, Pediatrics Research Fellow at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, about the critical role of shared decision making in prosthetic and orthotic care. They explore the difference between simply offering choices and genuinely involving patients and families in the care process. The conversation also highlights the value of evidence-based practice and offers practical tips for new clinicians to incorporate shared decision making, even when facing time pressures or limited experience.
