Morbidity and mortality conference established on the basis of residents’ autonomous needs / 医学教育

  Since 2010 we have held morbidity and mortality conferences established on the basis of the needs of residents in the postgraduate training program of Nagano Red Cross Hospital. In addition to teaching about patient safety, we consider the palliating “second victim” effect. Senior residents act as moderators and will gain valuable experience as conference facilitators. Here, we report on the conference because we believe its background is unique. For further improvement, the educational effects of the conference should be analyzed.
