Although Morbidity and Mortality conferences (MMC) were originally designed to promote quality care through careful analysis of adverse events, focus on individual actions or the fear of incrimination may interfere with identification of system issues contributing to the adverse outcomes. ⋯ The new PSMMC initiated multiple improvements in the quality of patient care without sacrificing attendance or attitudes of the residents or fellows. The new PSMMC promotes opportunities for participants to improve quality of patient care in a safe and nurturing environment.

Multicenter Study
Prescription writing skills of residents in a family practice residency programme in Bahrain.
To evaluate the prescription writing skill of final year residents in a family practice residency programme (FPRP) in Bahrain, and to compare skill of residents who have graduated from medical schools with problem based learning (PBL) versus traditional (non-PBL) curricula. ⋯ Prescription writing skill of the final year residents in an FPRP programme was suboptimal for both PBL and non-PBL graduates. Integration of prescription writing skill and a rational pharmacotherapeutic programme into the FPRP curriculum is recommended.
