| 'Become a Patient Safety Trainer' Conference |
Professional Development Workshop (PDW) |
 The ‘Become a Patient Safety Trainer’ Conference is a two-day educational event for those who want to become patient safety trainers in order to teach core patient safety skills to others. Participants are trained in human factors design, systems thinking, teamwork, and patient engagement by leading experts in the areas of patient safety and medical education. Participants are exposed to a variety of education techniques based on adult learning principles, including interactive lecture, role play, and case-based teaching. In addition, participants receive PSEP educational materials including the PSEP curriculum, PowerPoint slides, and trigger videos. Upon completion of the conference, participants are designated as patient safety trainers and are encouraged to use their knowledge and skills to educate fellow clinicians in the skills and practices of patient safety. |
 The Professional Development Workshop (PDW) takes place immediately following the ‘Become a Patient Safety Trainer’ Conference. This two-day workshop is intended to familiarize participants with the theory and practice of adult learning and clinical practice improvement. Individuals who want to further enhance their teaching and leadership skills are welcome at this workshop. Day 1 of the PDW focuses on improving teaching skills. Participants will first learn about teaching methods in didactic sessions and will then participate in hands-on practice techniques. Day 2 of the PDW emphasizes practice improvement and includes practical exercises that demonstrate the skills of team building, systems research, and advocacy. Participation in a PDW is necessary for those who aspire to the position of PSEP master facilitator. Participants can opt to enroll for the first day if the goal is to improve teaching skills, or they can enroll for both days if they also want to learn practice improvement methods. |
