Quality Improvement Writing Group
The IHQSE presents The QI Writing Group. This 10-session, 20-week experience, provides a structured and mentored manuscript preparation experience for QI scholars. We are seeking motivated QI leaders with a complete, or near complete, project who need a little help to get their project across the publication finish line. Publishable projects may include a successful project, a project with an important lesson learned, or a project with a unique intervention. At the end of the program, participants will have a complete and fully edited manuscript ready for submission.
