As clinicians face growing responsibilities to keep up with continuing medical education offerings, they have less time to learn fundamental risk management knowledge to practice safely. To meet their clinicians' needs and time constraints, the authors developed, implemented and assessed 15 lessons in three online risk management courses for resident physicians in an academic center. This report demonstrates that Internet‐based learning can provide a practical alternative to formal classroom teaching of a risk management curriculum to busy resident physicians and potentially to other healthcare professionals.
