Part of the Jefferson College of Population Health, the Quality Improvement/Patient Safety Leadership Development Program is designed to establish a critical mass of faculty and clinical leadership ready, able, and willing to engage in, role model, and lead education in quality improvement and patient safety projects aimed at reducing health care costs.

This hybrid program includes focused coursework, in-person, and/or live remote sessions, and a mentored project designed to align improvement work with the participants’ practice goals and the organization’s business priorities. The online modules are delivered as three graduate-level courses, resulting in an Advance Practice Certificate (APC), which gives participants the opportunity to continue on as a fully online student in the Jefferson College of Population Health and complete a Graduate Certificate or Master’s Degree in Healthcare Quality and Safety or use the transferable courses for further education.
