A newly updated version of the ACP Advance Quality Improvement (QI) health care curriculum is now available. The ACP Advance QI curriculum provides internal medicine physicians and their teams with a series of interactive online modules to help with implementing a QI project at the practice level, free of the traditional jargon associated with QI education. The curriculum focuses on core QI concepts and how to apply them in practice.

The newly updated version of the ACP Advance QI Curriculum is built on five core pillars to achieving meaningful and sustainable improvements:

  • Clinician Engagement and Ownership
  • Team-based Care
  • Patient and Family Engagement
  • Promotion of Health Equity
  • Promotion of Clinician Well-being

Both Promotion of Health Equity and Promotion of Clinical Well-being are new.

Internal medicine physicians who complete the curriculum are eligible for up to four AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, ABIM MOC points, and potentially patient safety credit. The curriculum is also a helpful resource for those in residency programs trying to meet the ACGME QI education requirement.

ACP Advance QI curriculum is a free benefit for all ACP members. Nonmembers can purchase the curriculum.
