Quality improvement and patient safety (QIPS) programs are intended to increase patient safety competency during graduate medical education. This article describes the development and implementation of a consortium aimed to improve QIPS education at a large academic health center. Primary goals of the consortium include to (1) expand learner-driven interprofessional opportunities, (2) leverage simulation training, and (3) engage and collaborate with community stakeholders.
