As a component of the practice-based core competency of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, all residents must receive training to be able to evaluate and improve their patient care practices. To further enhance our overall resident quality improvement (QI) educational experience, and to ensure resident involvement in the many aspects of a quality assurance program, we have established a resident educational leadership role and have appointed a resident as resident QI director.
We have designed and implemented a resident leadership position in QI in our department. A senior resident (postgraduate year 4 and above) is provided with dedicated training in QI methods, mentored opportunities to develop professional skills in QI, and didactic teaching in applications of QI to other residents.
A leadership position in QI for trainees introduces this important concept early in their career. The resident QI director is provided dedicated training, receives a broader perspective of QI and is optimally positioned to introduce the concept to junior residents leading to greater acceptance of QI at a resident level.
The introduction of a resident QI director enhances the importance of QI for trainees, prepares the individual for a strong academic and QI career, and improves acceptance of QI methods among trainees.
作为研究生医学教育认证委员会实践核心能力的一个组成部分，所有住院医师都必须接受培训，以便能够评估和改进他们的患者护理实践。为了进一步提高我们整体住院医师质量改进（QI）教育体验，并确保住院医师参与质量保证计划的许多方面，我们已经为住院医师设定了教育领导角色，并任命了一名住院医师担任住院医师 QI 主任。
我们在我们的科室中设计并实施了住院医师在 QI 方面的领导职位。为一名资深住院医师（第 4 年及以上）提供专门的 QI 方法培训、在发展 QI 专业技能方面的指导机会，以及将 QI 应用于其他住院医师的教学。
为住院医师提供 QI 领导职位可以在他们职业生涯的早期引入这个重要概念。住院医师 QI 主任接受专门培训，获得更广泛的 QI 视角，并能够将这一概念引入初级住院医师，从而在住院医师层面上更好地接受 QI。
引入住院医师 QI 主任增强了住院医师对 QI 的重视，为个人的学术和 QI 事业做好准备，并提高了住院医师对 QI 方法的接受程度。
