The Genesis of Clinical Handout
Recognizing the challenge of conveying complex cancer treatment information during brief patient encounters, they created Dr Elhag and Dr Anand created ‘Clinical Handout’. Dr. Dean Elhag and Dr. Kartik Anand, friends and triple board-certified specialists, identified a critical gap in patient and physician education. This open-source platform offers accurate, guideline-directed cancer handouts, empowering patients and providing physicians with valuable resources. By combining their expertise, Drs. Elhag and Anand aim to bridge the information gap in oncology care, addressing the growing need for accessible and comprehensive patient education.
