Improve Patient Safety through Leadership Fellowship

The AHA-NPSF Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship is a year-long program for clinical and administrative leaders dedicated to improving quality and patient safety.

Through a highly participatory learning experience, fellows gain proficiency with advanced patient safety concepts and utilize those concepts through their Action Learning Project.

The program offers a new comprehensive curriculum that extends traditional patient safety learning and incorporates integrated approaches to improve patient-centeredness, care coordination, employee safety and satisfaction, transparency and organizational learning.

As a fellow, you will:
Expand your knowledge of patient safety science and evidenced-based approaches to improving patient safety and quality

Enhance your capacity toward making an impact by creating sustainable improvements

Increase your ability to implement and spread health care innovations

Complete a major improvement project utilizing reliable design and a rigorous deployment approach

Utilize an expansive network of national experts, project mentors and fellowship alumni

A single change agent cannot do it alone. Learn with peers, bring new resources to your organization, and join nearly 300 frontline leaders who have participated and contributed to the program’s 11 year history.

Applications will be accepted through March 15, 2012. International candidates are welcome to apply. To learn more about the curriculum and requirements, visit www.ahafellowships.org.
