post residency QI training opportunities 0

submitted by Greg Ogrinc 11 years ago

The Department of Veterans Affairs has two excellent opportunities for post-residency training in QI.

1. VA Quality Scholars - http://vaqs.org/   Two year fellowship into academic and scholarly QI.  Eight sites in the US that are connected to academic programs: Dartrmouth, CWRU, Vanderbilt, UCSF, UCLA, Univ of Alabama-Birmingham, Univ of Iowa, Emory.  Many sites offer scholarlship for graduate school.

2. Chief Residency Program in Quality and Safety - http://www.va.gov/oaa/CRQS.asp  Close to 55 sites in the US.  One year chief position.  You do not need to be a resident in the program, but you do need to be in that specialty.  At Dartmouth, our Chief of Q&S for 2013-14 is Miranda Tan, who was a board member of CIR when she was a resident.  We still have openings for our CRQS for 2014-15 in medicine.
