Quality Improvement is a skill that we believe should be shaped during residency training, and has lifelong impact on practice development in your career. It is a requirement in both Internal Medicine and Psychiatry categorical programs that residents complete a Quality Improvement Project.
Recently, the residents were able to develop a dedicated, longitudinal Internal Medicine-Psychiatry QI project with combined trained faculty mentors, in order to enhance their integrated care training. Their work has been accepted to national conferences and is another way that we foster close relationships between the residents in our combined program.
