In recent years, several General Internal Medicine Fellows at the University of Iowa have paired their post-residency training with VA National Quality Scholars fellowships. The two-year fellowship allows physicians to focus on quality improvement issues and health services research in a VA setting. The program includes didactic training in quality improvement methods organized through Dartmouth's Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences .
The training introduces fellows to:
The design, management and monitoring of quality improvement systems.
The design and execution of quality improvement research.
Healthcare informatics, particularly the Veterans Integrated Systems Technology Architecture. (VISTA)
