A Learner's Perspective on Educating Trainees in Quality, Safety, and Implementation Science.

Abstract

Experiential learning forms the foundation of residency and fellowship training. We learn to provide high-quality patient care through studying, deliberate practice (simulation), performing clinical duties with faculty feedback and learning from mistakes (1). Growth as a physician is important, but trainees must also understand the larger healthcare context and drivers of patient outcomes. This requires effort to break down silos separating healthcare roles and promote interprofessional collaboration early in training. Quality improvement (QI), patient safety, and implementation science are important aspects of achieving these goals
