Learning from mistakes is an important component of medical education. In this study, medical residents at one large Canadian hospital participated in semi-structured interviews exploring how residents experience and learn from medical errors. Residents described learning to differentiate errors from complications, how the work environment and workload creates vulnerabilities, approaches to manage errors, and identifying avenues for support in order to move past an error.
