The QI Scholars Program is a highly interactive advanced training program in QI research methods and leadership skills, centered around an improvement project of each Scholar’s choosing.
Scholars receive dedicated mentorship and data and statistics support and enjoy the opportunity to engage with nationally known improvement experts. This training allows Scholars to pursue careers in academic quality improvement while building operational leadership skills.
Seattle Children’s Hospital started the QI Scholars Program in 2016, which expanded to include the first cohort of UW Medicine participants in 2021. The program is now jointly run, creating a cross-fertilization of ideas and innovation.
