Medical schools' curricula face increasing number of must to add-on components. Although the World Health Organization has emphasized integrating teaching patient safety and quality improvement in medical curricula, only few medical schools have responded and included these topics in their curricula.
This article aimed to describe the process of foundation and integration of patient safety module led by academic anaesthesiology department at King Abdulaziz's Faculty of Medicine. It also describes the main achievements and the most important challenges faced during implementation of this module during the last 5 academic years to guide other aspiring academic anaesthesiology departments in other medical schools for them to replicate the success.
Patient safety module was designed to be interprofessional and multidisciplinary module that depends on evidence-based approach to patient safety. It was offered during the 6 year medical study started in 2011-2012 as part of an integrated, hybrid, system-based curriculum at King Abdulaziz's Faculty of Medicine. The mode was delivered through interactive lecture (15% of the module contact hours), e-learning (15%), and practical sessions (70%). Student's assessment during the module included written exams and presentation of a patient safety advocacy project on group base.
The module committee continuously assessed the outcome measures of the module that included results of student's assessment, student's satisfaction, as well as student's self-reported learning of the module outcome. The module committee continuously revised the module in the light of these outcomes.
Today medical school curricula aspire to graduate market-place ready safe and efficient future physicians. This requires implementation of effective programs that help students to recognize and show appropriate clinical and patient safety skills early and continuously in their professional education.
医学院课程面临越来越多的必修附加内容。尽管世界卫生组织强调将患者安全和质量改进教学纳入医学课程，但只有少数医学院做出回应并将这些主题纳入其课程。
本文旨在描述阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医学院学术麻醉学系主导的患者安全模块的建立和整合过程。它还描述了在过去5个学年实施该模块期间取得的主要成就和面临的最重要挑战，以指导其他医学院有抱负的学术麻醉学系复制这一成功。
患者安全模块被设计为一个跨专业和多学科的模块，依赖于基于证据的患者安全方法。它在2011 - 2012年开始的6年制医学学习期间提供，作为阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医学院基于系统的综合混合课程的一部分。该模式通过互动讲座（占模块接触时间的15%）、电子学习（1 fifty percent）和实践课程（70%）进行授课。模块期间学生的评估包括笔试和以小组为基础的患者安全倡导项目展示。
模块委员会持续评估该模块的成果指标，包括学生评估结果、学生满意度以及学生对模块成果的自我报告学习情况。模块委员会根据这些结果不断修订该模块。
如今医学院课程期望培养出为市场所需的安全且高效的未来医生。这需要实施有效的项目，帮助学生在其专业教育中尽早并持续地认识并展现出适当的临床和患者安全技能。
