The Department of Medicine supports, sponsors, and leads a variety of educational programs aimed to teach key principles of quality improvement, patient safety, and systems innovation. Nearly all courses provide a traditional didactic element but they increasingly focus on providing our trainees with practical learning experiences to apply key principles to the clinical setting. Within this section, we highlight a few educational programs that highlight the breadth and depth of offerings across our Department.
