Choosing Wisely Canada launched on April 2, 2014, in collaboration with the Canadian Medical Association. We started with an ambitious goal to foster conversations between clinicians and patients about the overuse of unnecessary tests and treatments in health care. Ten years later, Choosing Wisely Canada has evolved to offer quality improvement programs, tools, and educational offerings that mobilize change at the frontline and system levels. 

Over the past ten years, we’ve become known for our lists of “tests and treatments to question,” which have been instrumental in identifying overuse within different specialties. In the spirit of these lists, we have put together a report that highlights ten things we’ve accomplished in the past decade of Choosing Wisely Canada.
