Executive Fellowship in Patient Safety

Fellows

The program focuses on professionals working in the healthcare industry who are involved in patient safety issues.  Our 200+ fellow alumni/ae from our first five programs represent a variety of professionals including physicians, nurses, patient safety officers, researchers, pharmacists, lawyers, policy makers, risk managers, and academic professors to name but a few.  They represent every state in the country including Alaska (although we have yet to have a fellow from Hawaii) and outside countries including Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, India, and Saudi Arabia.  We encourage a variety of professionals from various backgrounds and experience in aspects of patient safety to apply to the program as these people bring as much expertise to the table to share with each other as do the faculty teaching the program.

Fellows are required to design and implement a patient safety project in their facility with faculty mentors assigned to assist.
