The purpose of this article is to describe the development and evaluation of an 11-session patient safety and quality improvement curriculum for first-year child and adolescent psychiatry fellows. The curriculum uses the Learning from Defects tool which teaches fellows how to conduct an analysis of a safety event they have encountered in their clinical work. The Learning from Defects tool provides a structured approach to address adverse clinical events and identify system failures by providing a framework to determine what happened, examine why it happened, implement interventions to reduce the probability that a similar event will recur, and evaluate whether the interventions were effective. Six fellows participated in the curriculum during their protected didactics time. Curriculum evaluation included an assessment of fellows’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward patient safety and quality improvement before and immediately after the curriculum, and 6-months later. Immediately upon completion of the curriculum, fellows reported more confidence and comfort with patient safety and quality improvement-related tasks in their clinical practice. Fellows reported a positive perception of the curriculum related to their learning objectives and utility in the future career. At the 6-month follow-up, the majority of fellows continued to work on their Learning from Defects project and endorsed the intention to participate in patient safety and quality improvement work in the future. This study provides preliminary support for implementing this patient safety and quality improvement curriculum utilizing the Learning from Defects tool in child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship programs. The Learning from Defects tool offers a practical way to teach patient safety and quality improvement skills that potentially can be generalized to future clinical work.
