I finally got around to typing up some of my notes from the SAAHE conference. Here is the first keynote address I attended. It was a presentation by Professor Ara Tekian, the Associate Professor of Medical Education at the University of Illinois, entitled “Medical errors and patient safety: teaching and assessing at undergraduate level”.
While there is clearly a strong emphasis on the issue of patient safety among medical students, I think that the principles discussed could just as easily be applied to physiotherapy students.
Although these are only rough notes scribbled down during the presentation, I did try to incorporate more content, so it’s not exactly the same presentation that was given.
