Abstract

A structured curriculum combining reflective practice with objective RCA effectively enhanced psychiatry residents' knowledge, skills, and attitudes across multiple ACGME competencies. Although limited by single site-design, modest sample size, and recall bias, this model represents a scalable approach to teaching patient safety and systems-based practice in psychiatry training.
