Fellowship in Health Quality Leadership
The IHQSE's Fellowship in Health Quality Leadership is a rigorous development program for individuals looking to build a career in healthcare quality leadership. With a focus on personal, professional, project and program-level development, the fellowship blends practical skill development, application, and coaching to accelerate a career in quality leadership. Fellowship graduates are uniquely positioned to apply these skills to project-level improvements, quality program building and health leadership positions.
Course Overview
The fellowship combines foundational leadership content, specific leadership skills aimed toward building and leading quality programs, and project improvement work resulting in completion of a significant quality project. Additionally, fellows will have frequent executive coaching sessions to aid their career development.
The course includes over 60 hours of content supplemented by approximately 30 hours of intensive one-on-one coaching. Every core concept that is taught is immediately applied to real-world projects with the aid of a dedicated coach to facilitate successful implementation.
Fellows will complete the IHQSE Foundations in Healthcare Leadership and Improvement Academy programs.
Participant Engagement
The fellowship is a rigorous professional development program. The longitudinal curriculum builds on itself and requires substantial effort. Specifically, in order to graduate fellows must:
- Attend all course offerings.
The goal is for fellows to graduate in less than 12 months, but we recognize in some circumstances it may take longer. - Attend regular live, virtual coaching sessions.
These sessions generally occur for 60 minutes and help enhance core concepts and catalyze skills development. - Apply curricular concepts and tools between coaching sessions.
Concepts are enhanced through application assignments, which must be completed and submitted in a timely manner. - Complete a substantial performance improvement project.
- Continue your engagement with the IHQSE.
After the program, fellows will have ongoing access to the IHQSE network of faculty, coaches and past graduates. Our aim is to transform people, processes and organizations. As such, we want to celebrate your future successes (see our newsroom and performance portfolio) as well as continue to be a resource for your development. Our fellow network is one of our biggest assets, and we hope you’ll continue to be engaged for years to come!
