Emory Quality Academy
Our fellows have the opportunity to participate in Emory’s Quality Academy. This is an interprofessional longitudinal course with 7 sessions over 7 months. This course is designed to make the most of faculty time commitment by spacing out the in-person, 2-hour activities to accomplish the learning objectives through a project-based curriculum. This program will include 1) workshops led by expert faculty, 2) projects supported by leadership and coaches from our academic health system partners, and 3) presentation of project outcomes at the Emory Quality Conference.
Quality Improvement Fellows’ Lunch & Learn Series
Led by faculty within the division, this 12 part lunch and learn series introduces and reinforces quality improvement (QI) methodology. Working in small group settings with faculty, fellows learn to directly apply QI concepts to their projects.
PHM Journal Club
Our division’s journal club is held every other month and is led by PHM fellows to keep abreast on current literature in Pediatric Hospital Medicine.
Practice Based Learning (PBL)
PBL is held every other month and is led by PHM fellows to assimilate and appraise literature to continually improve patient care and strengthen medical knowledge
