C-QuIPS is excited to launch a new Improvement Fellowship program
What are the aims of the Improvement Fellowship?
- Provide individuals who have completed formal advanced training in QIPS the opportunity to further develop their experience, expertise and leadership in the QIPS field.
- Integrate Improvement Fellows on improvement, education or research initiatives led by C-QuIPS leaders and/or core members who will provide guidance and mentorship.
- Foster a community of Improvement Fellows to learn with and from each other.
- Prepare Improvement Fellows to become active members of C-QuIPS that contribute to advancing the Centre’s overall mission and strategic priorities.
What does the C-QuIPS Improvement Fellowship offer?
- The Fellowship provides an immersive experience where Fellows become integrated in QIPS work and activities that are priorities for both C-QuIPS and its partner healthcare organizations.
- We have partnered with Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) to make one of the Fellowship positions a joint C-QuIPS-CWC Improvement Fellowship. The selected Fellow will be embedded within the national CWC campaign and align their initiative with campaign priorities/national implementation activities.
- Improvement Fellows will participate in monthly ‘Fellow meetings’ where they will have opportunities to learn with and from C-QuIPS staff and other Fellows.
- C-QuIPS will strive to provide Fellows with in-kind support for their QIPS work (i.e., administrative support, access to data, QI statistical support).
- There is no financial support for the Fellowship as Fellows are expected to be working in one of the C-QuIPS partner organizations and to already have dedicated time for QIPS work.
Who is eligible to be an Improvement Fellow?
- Recent graduate of a C-QuIPS education program (i.e., Certificate Course, EQUIP, VAQS, IHPME MSc in QIPS) or another university-based QIPS education program.
- We encourage clinicians from any healthcare professional training background and/or relevant graduate school training background, administrators, quality and safety professionals and researchers to apply.
- Priority will be given to applicants working at one of our three partner organizations (Sunnybrook, Women’s College, SickKids).
- Applicants must attest to having protected time to carry out QIPS work.
- Improvement Fellows’ work will focus on one or more of the following areas: QIPS implementation, QIPS education and training, QIPS research and dissemination, QIPS systematic reviews, Health system leadership.
