Top 5 : What we wish we had learned earlier in our education

1. How does one create change? (QI) 2. Define problem vs. issue and how to identify each 3. Students do have the potential to be leaders 4. What does healthcare look like on a global context?

How can we learn from other leaders in healthcare around the world?

5. Emphasis on patient safety in a practice setting
