Psychological safety and accountability in longitudinal integrated clerkships: a dual institution qualitative study.

This study used the workplace-based frameworks of psychological safety and accountability to explore qualitatively longitudinal integrated clerkship graduates' experiences as students. Graduates described high and low psychological safety and accountability. Graduates' descriptions of high psychological safety and accountability involved positive learning experiences and responsibility toward patients. The relational lenses of psychological safety and accountability may inform faculty development and future educational research in clinical medical education.
