Amy Abramowitz, MD - won the Academy of Emerging Leaders in Patient Safety

In 2004, Dave Mayer, Tim McDonald, Rosemary Gibson, Anne Gunderson and a small number of other thought leaders in patient safety began discussions in hope that they could redesign medical education in such a way that students, residents and faculty would gain a greater understanding of patient safety throughout their training. Out of those discussions came the first Telluride Patient Safety Educational Roundtable in 2005. The first Roundtable found the group making its way across the front range of Colorado, to the southwest corner of this awe-inspiring state, to begin mapping a new course for patient safety healthcare education.
