The Choosing Wisely® campaign is one of the well-known initiatives of the American Board of Internal Medicine. 

It aims  to promote conversations between clinicians and patients by helping patients choose care that is:

• Supported by evidence

• Not duplicative of other tests or procedures already received

• Free from harm

• Truly necessary

It calls upon leading medical specialty societies and other organizations to identify tests or procedures commonly used in their field whose necessity should be questioned and discussed with patients.
