Safe medical care — It’s your move!

This full-day, interactive, face-to-face educational event is for residents in the early years of their training (PGY1 and PGY2), and focuses on patient safety and medical-legal risk reduction. The standardized curriculum is based on CMPA medical-legal risk data and the CanMEDS 2015 and CanMEDS-FM competencies. The workshop content was co-created with volunteers from Resident Doctors of Canada (RDoC). CMPA physician advisors and legal counsel, who have specialized content expertise, will facilitate all plenaries and workshops.

Watch the video to see how the CMPA is rethinking safe medical care and responding to the needs of Canadian postgraduate trainees.
