CAP Residents Program

Presenting essential risk management and professional development education to residents, hospitals, and various medical institutions throughout the Western Region. 

The Residents Program is a series of modules developed and presented by CAP staff to share important knowledge about risk management, professional development, and more. The full range of hospital medical staff, from students to interns to residents to faculty and fellows, find the content of the education programs to be a valuable adjunct to classroom instruction and clinical experience. The modules, presented at no charge, can be tailored to the host organization’s specific concerns.
