Quality improvement and patient safety (QI/PS) are no longer optional elements of healthcare education—they are essential.
The Quality and Safety Educators Academy (QSEA) is where leadership in quality improvement and patient safety meets the power of transformative teaching. Designed for forward-thinking medical educators, QSEA equips you with the tools, strategies, and confidence to understand and teach the core principles of QI/PS.
Get ready for QSEA 2025 this September: an immersive 2.5-day experience packed with interactive sessions, hands-on workshops, and real-world application. You’ll refine your own teaching materials, tackle practical challenges in small-group breakouts, and walk away with new innovative ideas.
What sets QSEA apart? A built-in network of passionate peers and nationally recognized faculty, and the rare opportunity to receive real-time, hands-on feedback. Structured networking is woven throughout the program to spark collaboration, mentorship, and lasting professional connections.
If you’re ready to lead the future of QI/PS education, QSEA is your launchpad.
