QI Education Training

HQS 728 Subject & Catalog Number

Description

Safety and quality operations are continuing to evolve as the field grows. This course will present special topics on quality and safety education training. Workforce development and training others in quality and safety has become an important part of quality improvement within organizations for several reasons. It can be a useful way to build culture within an organization. It is an important way to grow the teams necessary to sustain QI and safety work. It has recently become a core requirement of graduate training and therefore important for faculty developement as well. All of this training often falls to the operational leaders because they have the most experience. However, most operational leaders have no training in how to teach. In this seminar-style series, we will review some basic principles and skills in medical education along with an approach to curriculum development. We will review specific skills that are useful in QI and safety education including teaching root cause analysis, coaching QI prospects, and running M&M conferences. The sessions will conclude with a discussion of students' designs of their own teaching sessions.
