In this episode of Stories of Care, we dive into an innovative program at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine that integrates quality improvement (QI) and patient safety into medical education. Hear from Catriona, a third-year medical student; Dr. Jennifer Baldwin, an internal medicine physician and hospitalist director; and Dr. David Banach, an infectious disease physician and QI mentor, about their roles and experiences in implementing this unique curriculum. Learn how early exposure to QI concepts and real-world projects prepares medical students to identify and address gaps in healthcare delivery, and how effective mentorship fosters their development. Discover the impactful projects led by students, the comprehensive stepwise curriculum, and insights on scaling these practices to other institutions.
