Longitudinal Seminar Series I

HQS 715 Subject & Catalog Number

Description

Full-time students in their first semester are to enroll into the first component of the Longitudinal Seminar Series. This course is designed to support mentored QI work more centrally and allow for peer mentorship and individualized coaching. Working in small groups, students will meet periodically throughout the semester to develop their capstone projects with peer feedback. Specific frames for developing and documenting capstone work will be designed to support this course with specific milestones. The fall seminar will focus on reviewing the framework for project work. Students will be expected to define the problem within the organization using QI tools such as mapping, fishbone diagrams, and key driver diagrams, as well as input from local stakeholders. Interventions will be proposed by end along with a projected implementation plan. Students will be asked to reflect on the process of moving from problem to design.
