Shared decision making is often recommended as a person-centered way to engage with patients as they make decisions about their health. But what is the best way to have these conversations? In this follow-up session to our prior CAPTC webinar on shared decision making, we will be taking a deeper dive into this topic, focusing on specific scenarios where a shared decision-making approach may help address clinical grey areas in sexual health.

Learning Objectives

·     Utilize shared decision making in at least two specific clinical scenarios (e.g., doxyPEP or nPEP initiation).
·     Describe at least two common problems encountered with shared decision making and how to solve them.

Please see the attached pdf for information about the Oregon Viral Hepatitis Collective (OVHC) annual meeting, and this note from the organizers:

This year, the Oregon Viral Hepatitis Collective (OVHC) annual meeting is focusing on the syndemic nature of our HIV/Viral Hep/STI work. The synergistic epidemics of mental health and substance use issues with HIV/VH/STI infection risk means we are all working together to support people live healthier lives on their terms. Many folks in the community receive syndemic care through your organizations. This hybrid conference will shed light on some great syndemic work across Oregon and help connect us to each other during these difficult times.
