Spring 2025 · CMPH 0209 · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

In this course, students will learn essential quality improvement (QI) skills and apply those skills to a QI project. As prework, students will complete the IHI Open School Basic Certificate in Quality and Safety, which covers the foundations of improvement capability, patient safety, leadership, person- and family-centered care, and the IHI Triple Aim framework. Working with preceptors at their CAP sites, students will complete a Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle to improve a clinical or administrative aspect of health care delivery. The course will meet at regular intervals as a group, primarily online, to reinforce key concepts, review assigned exercises (e.g., process maps), and discuss project progress and challenges. The Course Director will hold virtual 1:1 tutorials with students for further coaching. For second year MD/MPH students.
