“You are more likely to be successful in QI with the foundations taught in the EQUIP program. You will also meet wonderful people and mentors who will share your enthusiasm and be useful professional connections for the rest of your career…you will come out of it with useful knowledge and new professional connections.”
– Benjamin Leis, 2019 EQUIP graduate, staff physician and assistant professor, University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine
The goal of the EQUIP program is to train current and future clinicians and leaders working at university-affiliated academic health centres or clinics to build capacity in QI. The EQUIP program’s enriched content and deeper dive into QI methodologies make projects more likely to succeed, and will prepare participants to maximize their project’s impact and receive academic recognition for their work.

This course is delivered through:
- six full days of virtual training over the course of nine months that feature a mix of didactic and interactive small group sessions and peer presentations (designed to allow participants from outside Toronto to attend)
