Description
Summary:Proficiency in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) methodologies has been identified as a standard of residency training. However, there is no consensus on how to achieve these competencies. We used Kern’s model of curricular development to create a QIPS curriculum for the local Emergency Medicine (EM) residency training program. The curriculum was designed following best practice recommendations for QIPS education and took the form of a 10-h educational experience including two in-person live sessions. The curriculum was delivered to a mix of local transition to practice residents and faculty members. Participants reported favorable outcomes and objectively demonstrated QIPS knowledge acquisition. This curriculum serves as a model that could be adapted by other residency training programs seeking to implement their own QIPS curricula.
