Abstract

A structured and intentional approach to quality improvement is critical for clinicians specializing in palliative care and is a required component of training programs. We present a multimodal, comprehensive curriculum for teaching quality improvement to interdisciplinary trainees in palliative care. The curriculum consists of 4 sessions, one and half hours long a piece, that focus on the purpose and practice of quality improvement and guide learners through a team-based project implementation experience. Course assessments demonstrate satisfaction with the course and improvement in targeted skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Several key learnings stand out from our experience with this curriculum as central to the experience of students: project work completed as interdisciplinary teams, varying teaching methodologies over a longitudinal curriculum, and the opportunity for formal presentation of their work.
