The goal of this workshop is to prepare faculty to teach quality improvement and patient safety (QI/PS) to their learners. In this workshop, participants will explore the question: Why would educators want to teach patient safety and QI? The workshop leaders will also facilitate a discussion on why patient safety and quality improvement are important to learners, how to integrate QI/PS terminology into teaching settings, and how to locate QI/PS resources.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Define Quality Improvement and Patient Safety
Use basic QI/PS terminology with learners in teaching settings. For example: quality gap, needs assessment, PDSA, LEAN.
Identify areas for QI/PS improvement.
Develop and implement a framework for an improvement project
Locate and share UCSF QI and safety resources as well as some general resources

During this workshop, participants will:

Use an action plan to include concepts learned in the workshop in their teaching practice.
