Hello and welcome to Not Just Patients, a podcast where we break barriers to meaningful patient involvement in healthcare.
We’re your hosts, Caitlin Rich and Clarinda Cerejo. We’re both rare disease patients and qualified patient experts. And we are so much more.

Embracing Shared Decision-Making in Patient Care┃Dr. Victor Montori
In this episode, we speak to Dr. Victor Montori about the importance of shared decision-making in healthcare.
Dr. Montori is the Robert H. and Susan M. Rewoldt Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic. An endocrinologist, health services researcher, and care activist, he is the author of more than 750 peer-reviewed publications and is among the most cited researchers in clinical medicine and in social science. He is a recognized expert in evidence-based medicine, shared decision making, and minimally disruptive medicine. He is also the author of the book Why We Revolt, and is leading a movement, a Patient Revolution, for Careful and Kind Care for all.
In our conversation, we discuss the need for patient-centred care that involves and respects individuals as holistic beings, the challenges that inhibit shared decision-making in practice, and the broader societal need to foster self-care and community support.
