Kelly G. Gwathmey, MD, offers three key tips for clinicians early in their careers regarding myasthenia gravis (MG): First, prioritize listening to patients, as their experiences may not always align with clinical observations. Second, advocate for shared decision-making when starting or changing treatments, considering individual patient preferences and medical conditions. Third, understand the significance of ongoing monitoring using patient-reported outcome measures and MG scales to assess treatment response and optimize care for patients with MG.
