Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) Content
SMA Curricula, Note Templates, and More
The SMA curricula, note templates, and implementation resources described below were designed by Dr. Jacob Mirsky and refined with his team at Massachusetts General Hospital's Healthy Lifestyle Program. They represent the most comprehensive SMA content available for clinicians looking to launch or scale an SMA program. Since 2020, these materials have been used across more than 1,000 SMA by 20 primary care providers; they are time-tested and continuously refined based on real-world experience in a general primary care setting.
Research on these curricula has demonstrated self-reported improvements in a wide range of behaviors, high levels of patient satisfaction, reductions in home blood pressure readings, and more (see below). Now, clinicians across the country can license these materials from Mass General Brigham to efficiently launch and scale LMSMA programming.
