Excuse me: teaching interns to speak up.

Research output: Contribution to a Journal (Peer & Non Peer)Articlepeer-review

Abstract

A consistent finding in health care is that interns (junior physicians) are unwilling to speak up to attendings or consultants (senior physicians), which involves the related behaviors of challenging or questioning the actions of attendings, seeking guidance about ones own performance, and reporting ones errors. Training designed to encourage interns to speak up was designed, conducted, and evaluated at University Hospital Galway, an academic teaching hospital affiliated with the National University of Ireland, Galway, in January 2012-March 2012 and November 2012-January 2013.
