When asked how often they obtained an FBS, the average of thirty-one attendees who responded pre-MMC was 3.7, between “Sometimes” and “Often” (see Table 1). Post-MMC 32 attendees were asked how often they would obtain a baseline and follow-up FBS in the future. The average response post-MMC score was 4.6, between “Often” and “Always.”

Morbidity and Mortality Conferences (MMCs) have been used in medical training for over 100 years [1]. In-depth discussions of practice and outcomes create an opportunity to acknowledge errors and suggest improvements [2, 3]. With graduate medical education’s growing focus on patient safety, MMCs represent a means of creating a culture of safety by identifying system-based problems.
