Abstrakt: Growing evidence supports the need to teach future healthcare practitioners the fundamentals of quality improvement (QI), but curricula rarely include opportunities to apply QI principles or develop relevant teamwork skills. We initiated a program in 2017 called QUEST to engage our learners in interprofessional health care improvement through a 7-month learning collaborative. QUEST pairs learners with mentors in clinical QI teams and provides structured content, tasks, and feedback. The model is intentionally experiential, intended to use existing expertise and opportunities in the clinical learning environment to support QI training. Three cohorts of health professions learners have completed QUEST (n = 45), resulting in 27 unique quality improvement projects and poster presentations. QI knowledge, as measured by the QIKAT-R, increased from 5.48 to 6.34 on a 9-point scale ( p = .01). Teamwork readiness also improved: ISVS-9B scores increased from 5.25 to 6.23 on a 7-point scale ( p < .01). Feedback has been positive with participants noting the unique learning opportunity, benefit to learner professional development, and enjoyment found in working across professions. QUEST continues to grow each year. Ongoing modifications are addressing mentor development and curricular standardization.
