2023 Workshop – Rochester, MN

Registration for Care that Fits 2023 is now open! Click here to register.

Care that Fits 2023 will be held September 13-15, 2023. It is the sixth offering of a three-day course that gives participants a kind and careful frame for healthcare: Minimally Disruptive Medicine (MDM) and Shared Decision Making (SDM).

The course is designed to provide participants both conceptual and practical knowledge of the topic and is divided into brief lectures and interactive workshop sessions. Lectures are intended to provide a conceptual overview of MDM and SDM and of our research work to-date. Interactive workshops focus on giving participants tools that they can use directly in clinical practice, research, or teaching. Workshops provide space for conversations that consider practical steps to implement MDM/SDM tools and concepts into practice, and about ways to help develop MDM/SDM further.

The course is intended for healthcare team members interested in applying the concepts of MDM/SDM in practice, for researchers interested in contributing to the ideas, tools, practice and implementation of MDM/SDM, and for patients with chronic conditions, particularly those leading advocacy work, or involved in engagement activities.
