The Canadian Medical Protective Association provides legal advice and assistance to physician members as well as resources and training to protect the professional integrity of physicians, promote safe care and compensate patients who were harmed through negligent care.
This resource provides a glimpse into what physicians are taught about harm. It discusses both the types of harm that occur and potential causes of that harm. Sometimes a patient perspective and a provider perspective differ so it can be helpful to understand how those involved in your care might be thinking.
