Patient safety is of the utmost importance in our pediatric emergency setting. Have you had any formal patient safety training during your residency training?

First, talk about any formal training, CMEs, or experiences you had during residency training that highlighted the importance of patient safety. Don't forget to highlight any experiences you have regarding patient safety and reiterate that you will take all precautions to ensure that your patients are treated in the safest of manners under your care as a Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellow.

"Yes, I feel very fortunate that my residency training program and institution prioritized patient safety right from my first day. I have been through many computer-based learning modules on patient safety, which opened my eyes to simple things like keeping aisles tidy and clutter-free in the case of a real emergency. I have also trained on my institution's protocols for reporting close calls as they pertain to patient care, and I know how important that is to help prevent any future mishaps in patient care. If I'm fortunate enough to match here, you can be assured that I would always prioritize the safety of my pediatric patients."
