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).

Keywords : medical mistake; diagnostic mistake; healthcare system.
