About this listen

Welcome to the Choosing Wisely Campaign series! This is the third episode of a 6-part series exploring the ABIM Foundation’s Choosing Wisely Lists. This campaign aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to avoid unnecessary medical tests, treatments, and procedures.

Our second case-based episode presents an infant with diarrhea and diaper dermatitis. After a clear discussion of the case and thoughtful consideration of the etiology and treatment strategies, we use the AAP’s Choosing Wisely dermatology and gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition lists to create a resource-conscious care plan that is safe and patient-centered.

In the coming episodes, we’ll explore the pediatric lists and apply our knowledge to cases of common presentations seen in primary and acute care pediatrics.

Series Learning Objectives:

  1. Introduction to the Choosing Wisely Campaign: Understand the origins, historical precedent, and primary goals of the campaign.
  2. Case-Based Applications: Explore five common presentations in primary and acute care pediatrics, applying concepts from various Choosing Wisely lists to guide management and resource stewardship.
  3. Effective Communication: Learn strategies for engaging in tough conversations with parents and colleagues to create allies and ensure evidence-based practices are followed.
