Imperfect practice makes perfect: error management training improves transfer of learning

ConclusionsThe provision of error management instructions during simulation‐based training improves the transfer of learning to the clinical setting compared with error avoidance instructions. Rather than teaching to avoid errors, the use of errors for learning should be explored further in medical education theory and practice.
