QI SHARK TANK
Session Description: In this session, 12 medical student teams will have the opportunity to pitch their quality improvement ideas to a panel of experts. This serves as the culmination of the patient safety/quality improvement track within IF567. The goal has always been to engage faculty mentors from across the system to empower the students to take observe, analyze and produce solutions of their assigned clinical processes. Each team had 7 minutes to pitch their ideas to judges, 3 minutes to provide a succinct solution proposal. The judges then could ask questions for an additional 2-3 minutes. Teams will judged based on creativity, how well the ideas addressed the defined problem and clarity of metrics. The audience also will get the chance to vote.
