The main focus of this course is to help participants acquire the necessary skills to teach quality improvement and patient safety to peers and trainees in their own practice setting. Participants will develop the ability to utilize a variety of different pedagogical approaches to teach quality improvement and patient safety, including large group interactive lecturing, facilitating small group discussions, case-based learning (including re-vamped patient safety M&M rounds), use of role play/video debrief, and experiential quality improvement projects.
