Patient safety education to change medical students' attitudes and sense of responsibility.

Roh H, Park SJ, Kim T. Med Teach. 2014 Oct 22; [Epub ahead of print].

A 3-day patient safety curriculum improved medical students' knowledge about elements of patient safety and expected behaviors, though students expressed a continued reluctance to challenge more senior physicians. This study provides further evidence for introducing patient safety concepts in medical education, as discussed in a previous AHRQ WebM&M perspective.
