What is Te4Q?
Teaching for Quality (Te4Q) is a faculty development certificate program that trains clinical faculty how to teach quality improvement & patient safety (QI/PS)
across the medical educational continuum
Why Te4Q? The Faculty Development Dilemma
AAMC’s Teaching for Quality Report: 2013
The Goal:
“Every academic health center will have a critical mass of faculty ready, able and willing to engage in, role model, and teach about patient safety and the improvement of health care.”
Quality Improvement is core to what it means to be a physician

Educational Project Examples
Educational Project Goal Targeted Learners
Use QI in daily practice by measuring adherence to ‘Bright Futures’ guidelines
Pediatric Residents
Use patient registry; follow a guided performance improvement activity; and evaluate performance over time
Family Medicine Residents
Integrate current QI educational objectives into a coordinated, intentional, and longitudinal curriculum where nursing and medical students work together in learning and practicing QI

Community of Learners
Creating an Educational Activity for QI/PS
1. GOAL/AIM: What is the gap or problem you want to address? What are the Quality Improvement/Patient Safety competencies you want the learners to exemplify?
Think SMART: specific, measurable, actionable, relevant and time bound
2. OBJECTIVES: What are the learning objectives? Use the term ‘performance expectation’ to guide you here. What do you want learners to do after the activity?
3. LEARNERS: Who are your learners? What is their stage of learning, whether physician or other health professional individuals or teams? Are they novices or more advanced? What are their educational needs?
Creating an Educational Activity for QI/PS
4. EDUCATIONAL DESIGN: What learning methods/formats will you use? Develop 2-3 bullet points to outline your educational idea, project or innovation and what QI/PS content you want to include.
5. LEARNER ASSESSMENT: How will you assess your learners? What methods will you use to assess what your learners have accomplished?

6. PROGRAM EVALUATION: How will you evaluate your initiative? How will you know its impact and how it might be improved?
7. IMPLEMENTATION: How will you implement? Who will be your partners? What resources will you need? From whom will you need ‘buy-in”?
Other considerations…..
Timeframe: Estimated Implementation Date:
Confidence Level: How confident are you that you will be able to complete your project?
Very Moderately Unlikely
What barriers to you anticipate?
Additional Activity(ies): What educational QI activities aside from this project will you implement?
