Choosing Wisely Canada

Choosing Wisely Canada is the national voice for reducing unnecessary tests and treatments in Canada.

Unnecessary tests and treatments expose patients to potential harm, consume precious health care resources, and contribute to the climate crisis.

Choosing Wisely Canada works with national clinician societies to identify frequently overused tests and treatments that are not supported by scientific evidence. It mobilizes health care providers and their organizations to adopt the recommendations and make them part of routine practice.
