Stanford Department of Pediatrics Quality Improvement and Leadership Training (QuILT) Program

  • Affiliation: Pediatrics
  • Details: The Stanford QuILT program is a 10-month QI and Leadership training program, running from January through October, designed specifically for pediatric faculty and fellows. Predominantly remote with select in-person sessions, this program equips participants with the tools and skills to lead impactful quality improvement (QI) initiatives in healthcare by incorporating QI and leadership skills. 
  • Using A3 Thinking as the primary quality improvement paradigm, QuILT helps participants tackle challenges like organizational change, team dynamics, and stakeholder engagement. The goal of the program is to empower pediatricians to enhance patient care quality at their sites and drive sustainable change. The program features interactive sessions, personalized coaching, and peer collaboration, with participants applying lessons to their own QI projects. A call for applications for each year's cohort occurs in November. No prior QI experience is necessary and pediatricians from Stanford's regional network are also welcome to apply.
  • Open to: Pediatric physicians
