Quality & Safety Mastermind Series
Mastermind Series events are held monthly from 3-5pm. The focused sessions are targeted toward academic quality improvement practitioners looking to expand their knowledge and share experiences with their QI peers. The first hour is an interactive scholarly lecture or debate with invited speakers or panelists. Themes centre around methodology, tools, research, leadership, and data. The second hour is focused on peer support and feedback for individual QI projects. Participants are invited to submit their project summary or manuscript in advance. An important developmental resource for the QI community of practice, this forum encourages constructive feedback, debate, and discussion.
