Medical errors can be prevented through strong safety awareness and proactive programs that identify risks and mitigate harm. This interprofessional simulation engages healthcare learners in team-based safety training using standardized patients (SPs). Participants work together to recognize potential hazards, explore the root causes of medical errors, and practice open communication with patients’ families through a Communication and Resolution Program (CRP) approach. By fostering collaboration across professions, this experience emphasizes the shared responsibility of healthcare teams to protect patients, support families, and promote a culture of safety.
