In addition to the physician or clinical leader in each group, every Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) is supported by additional medical staff to facilitate the group discussion and coordinate the meeting. This support staff is made up of behavioral therapists, who help patients better understand their medical conditions, give support and lead discussions regarding healthy lifestyle alternatives.
