Morbidity and Mortality Conferences of the Philippine General Hospital Department of Surgery: A Survey on the Perception of Surgical Trainees to Improve Patient Safety.

This study observed variability in the perceptions of surgical trainees on M&M conferences. Surgical trainees tend to feel fear of criticism and negative repercussions during M&M conferences. There are opportunities for improving the format of M&M in terms of clarity of inclusion criteria and dissemination, and focusing on systems and processes rather than individual faults.
