What attendees at past trainings have to say:

  •  “[They] made sure we understood each piece of the process—if there was any question, we would work it out as a total group which helped all learn.”
  •  “The trainers were extremely knowledgeable, willing to assist with individual projects, and provided a safe environment to learn.”
  • “The training is particularly useful when it is based on an actual issue or project in the team’s unit. After two days, they come out with a well-defined and constructed QI project to work on to improve their unit.”
  • "[Provided] informative and in-depth information for creating and participating in QI projects."
