Our fellows quickly assume leadership roles after completing our program. To prepare them for academic success, we require all fellows to complete a quality improvement or research project. We dedicate time for all fellows to complete Institute for Healthcare Improvement learning modules on patient safety and quality of care with the opportunity for further training in this area. We also provide opportunities for the fellows to complete additional training in teaching/education skills.
