Reflection on the Relation between six domains of patient safety and the CanMed competencies model for students- which are required for each domain of pat safety?
Would it be necessary to have a specific competency on that?

Disclosure- what do we tell things to the patients? How? What is harm?:impairement

A change in terminology complicated even more the discussion: interpretation of certain words...

Are we teaching that?

Definitions...pat safety incident
-harmful incident
-not harmful incident
-near miss:it did not reach the patient

Exercise of disclosure-we created a module of education about pat safety

Interesting and very useful workshop. Heavy framework based on stablished documents and definitions. The practical exercise proved the value of those concepts, although I think one do not need to be limited by them do have some initiative on pat safety education.
