Abstract
PULGARIN-GALLEGO, DAVID ALEJANDRO. Medical mistakes and their absence in medical schools. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2023, vol.48, n.1, pp.1-. Epub Mar 28, 2024. ISSN 0120-2448. https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2023.2522.
Medical mistakes are any unintentional acts which are detrimental to patients' health, most of which have multiple causes or arise from the complexity of modern healthcare systems. Since no medical specialty is free of mistakes, training is needed beginning in undergraduate school to learn how to deal with them. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 48. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2023.2522).
