Program Information

There is a major movement underway in healthcare nationally to develop ways to improve the results of care and make care safer for patients and families. These issues have been the subject of many reports by the Institute of Medicine and are being discussed in all health professional disciplines (nursing, medicine, behavioral health, pharmacy, health administration, and others). In addition to the agreement that we must improve care, there is broad support for enhancing the learning of health professionals to include topics and experiences that will prepare health professionals to lead the changes that will result in a better system. In addition, feedback from former residents, postdocs, and fellows suggested they appreciated the opportunity to engage in quality improvement during their training.

The QI Seminar Series is designed to provide trainees with an opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills to improve care. The series offers multiple tools and ways to use them that trainees will be able to try in their own work, and then explore using further in their work after training.
