“I want to learn more about quality improvement research and how I might be able to incorporate this practice into my future career as a gastroenterologist. I also think it will be really fun to have another year to engage with our present and future Emory residents!” – Alan Noll, MD
“I want to focus on learning quality improvement and patient safety curriculum that will allow me to implement improvement strategies at the Atlanta VA Medical Center in an effort to better serve our Veterans.” – Anita Sundaramoorthy, MD
The CRQS is a one year position for individuals interested in leading quality and patient safety educational sessions and gaining skills in quality improvement. The skills gained as the CRQS will be applied to a specific project during the academic year.
In addition to the CRQS program, the Atlanta VA Medical Center also has a VA Quality Scholars (VAQS) Fellowship, a two year interprofessional program designed to develop leaders in quality improvement, health system change, and quality and safety education.
