Medical Error: Using Storytelling and Reflection to Impact Resident Error Response Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Medical error is common and has a significant impact on physicians, learners, and patients' perception of the medical system; however, residents receive little formal training on this topic. This curriculum aims to foster sharing of personal medical error stories, review and practice error management and coping strategies, and impact error response factors.

Methods

Faculty identified factors related to effective physician error management and recovery in order to develop a targeted curriculum for family medicine residents. The curriculum consisted of three 1-hour didactic sessions in a medium-sized, urban program. Instructional methods included guided reflection after mentor storytelling, small-group discussion, role-play, and self-reflection.
