Evaluating the Clinical Learning Environment: Resident and Fellow Perceptions of Patient Safety Culture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has begun to evaluate teaching institutions' learning environments with Clinical Learning Environment Review visits, including trainee involvement in institutions' patient safety and quality improvement efforts.

Objective

We sought to address the dearth of metrics that assess trainee patient safety perceptions of the clinical environment.

Methods

Using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), we measured resident and fellow perceptions of patient safety culture in 50 graduate medical education programs at 10 hospitals within an integrated health system. As institution-specific physician scores were not available, resident and fellow scores on the HSOPSC were compared with national data
