AAMC report on patient safety and GME
The AAMC has published a report describing the risks to patient
safety inherent in graduate medical education (GME) at teaching hospitals, where
learners are members of the patient care team. "Patient Safety and
GME" is the work of a joint committee of the AAMC's Group on Resident Affairs
and Organization of Resident Representatives.
The report discusses tools for analyzing medical errors, addressing the ethical
dimension, and providing emotional support for residents who err. Also included
are suggestions for incorporating patient safety
issues into graduate medical education core competencies, and an annotated
bibliography of 35 basic patient safety references.
