The Multi-professional Edition of the WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide is an updated edition of the Curriculum Guide for Medical Schools, published by WHO in 2009. This new edition covers the areas of dentistry, medicine, midwifery, nursing, pharmacy, and other related health-care professions. We hope that this Guide will promote and enhance the status of patient safety worldwide and ultimately prepare students for safe practice. As a comprehensive guide to implementing patient safety education in health-care schools and universities, it contains information for all levels of faculty staff and lays the foundation for capacity-building in the essential patient safety principles and concepts. The Curriculum Guide is a rich resource for senior decision-makers involved in the development of health-care curricula.
