CMPA Patient Safety Primer: medico-legal essentials for residents

Covering medico-legal essentials to reduce your medico-legal risk and keep patients safe

“Very well run, effective use of time. Virtual delivery was as effective as in-person. Meeting facilitators were excellent and the medico-legal Q&A was extremely useful. Amazing for residents!” – McMaster University resident (2021)

This interactive and virtual workshop has been developed specifically for first year Family Medicine residents and second year Royal College residents.

Delivered by highly experienced CMPA physician advisors, the workshop covers topics representing medico-legal issues frequently encountered by residents in CMPA case files: informed consent, documentation, disclosure of a patient safety incident (accident in Québec), and teamwork.
