Abstract
A defining realization of the 1990s was that, despite all the known power of modern medicine to cure and improve illness, hospitals were not safe places for healing. Instead, they were places threatened with risk of patient harm. One important response to this realization has been the growth of interest in patient safety. It is increasingly clear that patient safety has become a discipline; complete with an integrated body of knowledge and expertise, and that it has the potential to make a revolution in health care.
Patient safety is now recognized in many countries, with global awareness fostered by the WHO’s World Alliance for Patient Safety. And yet there continue to be significant challenges to implement patient safety policies and practices.
This study was conducted at the aim of incorporating the medical patient safety education vertically into the six year curriculum at the Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University in order to prepare medical students for safe practice in the workplace.
The study is an observational, Quasi-experimental Pre-test post-test study. The target population included all the interns (students at point of graduation) at FOM, SCU. The sample size was 71 interns. The instrument used in this study was focus group conducted to prepare an outline for patient safety curriculum, pretest-post test to assess knowledge outcome after implementing patient safety course and self administered anonymous questionnaire to measure satisfaction of interns towards the implemented course.
