The Center for Medical Simulation’s Speaking Up Stories are true stories from healthcare professionals about moments in their lives and careers where they have needed to “speak up.” Speaking up with a concern or in a crisis is a crucial skill for ensuring patient safety. At the Center for Medical Simulation, we train learners and faculty on the crucial lessons they need in order to speak up effectively when lives are on the line. Enjoy these stories of times where we tried, and sometimes failed, to speak up, and the lessons we learned each time.
