➡️Discuss testing & treatment thresholds
➡️Engage in shared decision making

@EmilyAbdoler @andrewparsonsMD @thilanMD & @JRencic have shared some strategies for tackling these issues.
For example:
📐 Templating - to ensure completeness of management scripts
⏸️ The 'management pause' - to explore alternatives "out loud"

2⃣ “Identifying management options”
Once a "problem" has been established, clinicians need to be able to generate a menu of potential management options.
This pre-compiled list of actions activated by a working diagnosis is a management script.

Fortunately, there's been an explosion of helpful publications & other resources over the past few years w/ specific tips on teaching management reasoning.
I’ve highlighted a few here.
I have drawn on these & many others to craft this thread, & added some of my own pearls.

Finding your niche is usually not a straight line. Great advice in @JHospMedicine by @chbmsankey and @MSBI_IM hospitalist Alfred Burger. Have a growth mindset, find your passion, be ready to pivot.
