Informed Decision Making In CLTI

This session will be helpful in expanding physician knowledge base and improving clinical confidence and effectiveness in treating patients with CLTI. This session will focus on shared, patient-centered decision making to individualize treatment recommendations. The importance of staging and setting patients’ expectations to facilitate decision making for CLTI patients will be reviewed.
This recording also includes the live patient panel held at VAM24
Funding for this activity was provided by a grant from CMSS aimed to promote diagnostic excellence across the field of medicine.
