The medical community is making strides to make medicine safer, yet, healthcare is a human endeavor and medical errors will always happen despite the best of intentions. The key to making medicine even safer — and further, reduce errors — is being transparent post-event with patients, families, and colleagues. This course will show learners how to ethically run to problems, communicate in an empathetic and effective manner with all stakeholders, be accountable and solve problems, and learn from medical errors so medicine can be safer going forward. The course includes several true cases and real-life scenarios for learners to examine along with best practices on post-event discussions and behavior strategies. This content provides a comprehensive overview of how physicians and other healthcare professionals should navigate adverse medical events, including medical errors. Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, the learner will be able to: 1. Teach clinicians how to remain in the relationship with patients and families after adverse medical events 2.
