Create a BC/WC graphic aid including the best, worst and most likely outcomes for clinical scenarios where there is an option for either surgery or a less invasive procedure, medical management, or to shift focus to supportive care.

2. Describe through stories a range of treatment outcomes using the BC/WC tool to facilitate a shared decision-making conversation about treatment options with a simulated patient.
