Quality Sessions, Leaders, and Curriculum
Annually several institution-wide sessions on Quality Improvement and Patient Safety
(QIPS) topics are incorporated as part of our institutional core curriculum series
called Healthcare Principles in Practice (HPP) — held monthly at Noon on the 2nd Tuesday
of each month via Zoom.
All 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year residents and fellows are required to attend or view a recording of each session that is available on the UT College of Medicine Chattanooga YouTube Channel within a few days of each session. All Residents, Fellows, Faculty, and Medical Students are encouraged to participate in the live Zoom sessions or view the recordings as well.
