背景：许多认证机构已经认识到对医疗保健专业学生进行患者安全教育的迫切需要，但迄今为止，对本科/研究生医学课程的关注还很零星。医学生自己已经将护理质量和安全确定为教学的一个重要领域；作为未来的医生和医疗保健领导者，他们必须做好安全医疗保健的准备。医学教育尚未将患者安全的概念和原则完全纳入现有的医学课程。大学继续培养缺乏患者安全知识、技能和行为的博士研究生，这些知识、技能和行为被认为是提供安全护理所必需的。一个重大的挑战是，患者安全仍然是一个相对较新的概念和研究领域；因此，许多医学教育工作者不熟悉文献，不确定如何将患者安全学习纳入现有课程。为了解决这一差距并为世界各地的医学院提供立足点，世卫组织世界患者安全联盟赞助了医学生患者安全课程指南的开发。《世卫组织医学院患者安全课程指南》采用了“一站式”方法，其中包括一本教师手册，为初次接触患者安全学习的教师提供分步指南，以及关于主要患者安全领域的综合课程。本文确立了医学生患者安全教育的必要性，描述了世卫组织《医学院患者安全课程指南》的制定，并概述了该指南的内容。
Background The urgent need for patient safety education for healthcare students has been recognised by many accreditation bodies, but to date there has been sporadic attention to undergraduate/graduate medical programmes. Medical students themselves have identified quality and safety of care as an important area of instruction; as future doctors and healthcare leaders, they must be prepared to practise safe healthcare. Medical education has yet to fully embrace patient safety concepts and principles into existing medical curricula. Universities are continuing to produce graduate doctors lacking in the patient safety knowledge, skills and behaviours thought necessary to deliver safe care. A significant challenge is that patient safety is still a relatively new concept and area of study; thus, many medical educators are unfamiliar with the literature and unsure how to integrate patient safety learning into existing curriculum.Design To address this gap and provide a foothold for medical schools all around the world, the WHO's World Alliance for Patient Safety sponsored the development of a patient safety curriculum guide for medical students. The WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide for Medical Schools adopts a 'one-stop-shop' approach in that it includes a teacher's manual providing a step-by-step guide for teachers new to patient safety learning as well as a comprehensive curriculum on the main patient safety areas. This paper establishes the need for patient safety education of medical students, describes the development of the WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide for Medical Schools and outlines the content of the Guide.
