Who We Are
In September 2016, medical students at the University of British Columbia Okanagan began working to establish a Chapter of the Institute of Health Improvement (IHI) Open School. The Chapter aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of students to develop knowledge and skills in patient safety, quality improvement (QI) methodology, person and family-centered care, leadership, and resource allocation.
