Waa waa waa, not while I'm on a plane that has no wifi. :(
But I'll catch the replay. WIHI is a wonderful thing.
Dear Anon,
Your comment was not appropriate for this setting. You misunderstand things. If you would like to talk with me, please call.
Take home lessons from the event:
Medical STUDENTS are most interested in and supportive of learning more about patient safety. Faculty need re-training. Many deans are plus-minus; one "prominent" medical school dean felt the medical students' initiatives were inappropriate.
