Using student-staff partnership to teach early years medical students about quality improvement: an evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Quality Improvement (QI) skills are recognized as a key outcome for medical students but are still rarely taught at the undergraduate level. Whilst there is evidence that preclinical students enjoy learning about QI, there is limited practical work exploring the best way to teach QI to this cohort. There are gaps in the literature around the evaluation of student-staff partnership approaches in the context of teaching QI, especially in line with the sustainable QI (susQI) framework.
