If you're interested in QI this course is for you, whether you're in the middle of a project, just getting started or still thinking about what you might do in the future.

You'll enjoy lectures and practical group challenges from a faculty ranging across the entire multidisciplinary team, including patient representatives. You're encouraged to bring your own QI projects to work on; you'll work with your small group to practice using QI tools and to share learning.
