CASTANEDA-MOTTA, Catalina  y  VEGA-PENA, Neil Valentín. Morbidity and mortality meetings or conferences, a learning strategy?. Iatreia [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.3, pp.286-297. ISSN 0121-0793.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.52.

Morbidity and mortality (M&M) meetings or conferences, a common practice worldwide, seek to assess adverse events and complications related to medical care, from an academic perspective and considering an improvement in the quality of hospital care. However, in our country, its execution is a methodological challenge due to the difficulty for its conceptualization, implementation, evaluation of its effectiveness and usefulness as an educational tool, since it lacks a formalized structure that considers these issues.

The aim of this work is to evaluate its role from an individual and institutional academic perspective, considering the different theories and models that could support M&M (theory of experimental learning, activity theory in sociocultural learning, just culture, security theory model and theory of the second victim), in order to answer the question: are M&M meetings a learning strategy?
