Congratulations to the Department of Medicine trainees who were accepted into the inaugural Housestaff Quality and Safety Committee (HQSC) Ambassadors program.

This program is intended to provide opportunities for aspiring healthcare leaders to learn more about hospital systems, immerse themselves in executive decision-making and collaborate with a diverse set of stakeholders to implement meaningful change in our institution.

As part of the program, trainees will attend monthly HQSC meetings and join an existing QI project at one of the hospitals in our system.

The University of Washington Housestaff Quality & Safety Committee (HQSC) is a trainee-led organization chartered under UW Graduate Medical Education and the UW Patient Safety & Quality Coordinating Committee focused on developing future clinician leaders dedicated to improving patient care through housestaff education, multidisciplinary collaboration, and engagement in quality and safety.

Formed in 2011, HQSC membership today boasts more than 80 residents and fellows representing 37 medical and surgical specialties. The group meets throughout the year to learn improvement methodology, leadership skills, and change management strategies. In addition to developing and engaging future clinician leaders in healthcare quality and safety, the HQSC provides a housestaff perspective on these important matters to committees across UW Medicine.
