HOST A PATIENT SAFETY TRAINING EVENT
Available as a standalone event, or held in conjunction with another event, such as a pre- or post-conference workshop. The event is 6-8 hours in length and led by two (2) Center for Patient Safety experts, certified in patient safety.
SIZE
There is no limit to the number of attendees who can participate in the Forums or Boot Camps; however, the hands-on offerings by Center staff are limited when the participant quantity exceeds 100. The most appropriate size, based on previously held workshops, is 35-50 attendees. The smaller size allows for ample one-on-one opportunities with CPS experts and strong peer-to-peer networking.
