Patient safety is fundamental to the quality of healthcare and represents a global challenge. Adverse events in healthcare, such as errors in diagnosis, prescription and medication administration, are a leading cause of failure and incapacitation worldwide. It is essential that patient safety is integrated into undergraduate education to prepare future healthcare professionals competent in this discipline. Although current methodologies focus on how to teach these concepts, our study seeks to go further, exploring in depth how patient safety is actually integrated into healthcare curricula.
