If medical residents are going to learn from mistakes, then it stands to reason that they need to be able to admit those mistakes without fear of retribution.
But a recent study found that medical residents are actually discouraged from officially reporting their own, and others’, medical errors.
Indiana University's Dr. Lia Logio is the co-author of that study. She suggests that medical educators have a role to play in improving patient safety, by helping change the culture of medical education.
