Education and reporting of diagnostic errors among physicians in internal medicine training programs.

Wijesekera TP, Sanders L, Windish DM. JAMA Intern Med. 2018 Sep 4; [Epub ahead of print].

This survey of internal medicine attending and resident physicians found that few received instruction on reporting diagnostic errors or discussing diagnostic errors with patients. The authors recommend improving training in order to enhance reporting and communication about diagnostic errors.
