Facilitating and Hindering Factors for Implementation of Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Workshops

Facilitating Factors	Hindering Factors
Large academic medical center with abundance of faculty with QI/PS experience	Competing interests and commitments of trainees (choosing between multiple lectures or academic organization events)
Funding for workshops to purchase any required materials and provide food for attendees	Schedule variation between preclinical students (basic sciences) and clinical students on rotations
Culture of safety within large academic medical center	Lack of awareness and familiarity regarding QI/PS terminology and skills
Engagement of student-leaders in Institute for Healthcare Improvement Open School Chapter	Access due to geographic location of workshop (especially for clinical students rotating at specific hospitals)
Interactive nature of workshops	Engagement of students with varying specialty interests (i.e. pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, etc.)
Opportunity for preclinical students to gain clinical exposure	Ability to accommodate large groups and maintain interactive nature of workshops
Opportunity for QI/PS faculty to get involved with medical school teaching
Opportunity for faculty educational portfolio enhancement
