Reading between the lines
SDM is a complex process that involves clear communication, empathy, and respect for autonomy. Narrative elements that create engaging written works are also important to SDM performance, including patient perspective-taking. As medical students undergo professional identity formation, an SDM curriculum engaging the patient perspective may promote a humanistic approach to clinical practice.
