What you should know before registering…
Applicants must have a commitment from an executive leader in their organization to attend the last half-day of the immersion course, as well as demonstrated support at the executive level of their institution for dissemination within their home organization (Note: For optimal benefits, the Executive Sponsor is strongly encouraged to attend the half-day in person. If that is not possible, remote attendance via an online service will also be available).
In addition, applicants are encouraged to attend as a team that includes at least one physician, one other clinical professional such as a nurse, pharmacist or other provider, and one healthcare administrator with responsibility for patient safety and quality. These safety trainers will be trained in both core curriculum content and teaching skills to effectively equip them to convey the core curriculum to end-learners in their home institutions.
