The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of people living with ALS (pALS), care partners (cALS), and staff in an ALS MDC to identify care gaps and collaboratively develop improvement strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a six\u2010stage experience\u2010based co\u2010design (EBCD) study comprising narrative interviews with pALS, cALS, and ALS clinic staff, followed by validation events and co\u2010design workshops. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Priority areas for improvement were identified through collaborative ranking and translated into actionable interventions through iterative working groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 11 pALS, eight cALS, and 10 clinic staff participated. Two shared priority domains were identified: (1) communication and relationships across the care continuum, and (2) navigational and supportive resources. Stakeholders unanimously identified communication and relationships between cALS and staff as the highest priority for improving MDC care delivery. Key strategies included pre\u2010visit orientation materials, pacing information delivery aligned with patient readiness, and incorporating digital tools to enhance flexible access to resources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Curated, iterative education is essential for pALS and cALS across the disease trajectory. Improvement strategies developed through equitable stakeholder partnership may yield different, and potentially more patient\u2010centered priorities for ALS MDC care delivery than strategies
