QI and Patient Safety education programs
The Center for Scholarship in Patient Care Quality & Safety is currently accepting applications for two educational programs:

QI Scholars Program<https://bit.ly/42J1iCJ>
This competitive year-long course is in-depth and advanced, centered around completing and publishing a rigorous QI research project. Participants receive support from a mentorship and data team and attend 12 half-day hands-on seminars. With only 10-20 total participants from across the UW Medicine and Seattle Children's community, this intensive program allows for significant 1:1 support and collaborative learning among Scholars and a network of alumni.

Certificate Program in Patient Safety<https://bit.ly/3N8s3Ll>
This 8-month training course is ideal for healthcare professionals of all backgrounds and from any organization who are beginner to intermediate in their QI knowledge and skills. Participants learn core quality, safety, and equity principles through 6 full-day conferences and gain hands-on experience by implementing a project throughout the course. Register as an individual or put together a team working on the same project.
