  • Title: Shared medical appointments: facilitating interdisciplinary care for midlife women.
    Author: Thacker HL, Maxwell R, Saporito J, Bronson D.
    Journal: J Womens Health (Larchmt); 2005 Nov; 14(9):867-70. PubMed ID: 16313217.
    Abstract:
    Shared medical appointments (SMAs) are a new way to deliver woman-focused interdisciplinary care for midlife women. SMAs are a series of one physician to one patient encounters with other patient observers. The women's health physician addresses each woman's unique medical needs individually but in the context of a shared setting. The major focus is on delivering individual medical care with the benefits of additional time spent educating women patients and answering questions.
