IHI charges a modest subscription fee for health professionals who would like to complete the IHI Open School courses. (Scholarships may be available based on need.)
The courses are completely free for students, medical residents, university faculty who teach courses, and users from the Least Developed Countries. All other IHI Open School resources – including the Chapter Network – are free for all. Details >>
We currently offer online courses in the areas of quality improvement, patient safety, and leadership. Each course takes one to two hours to complete and consists of several lessons taking 15-30 minutes each.
You’ll take a quiz at the end of each lesson. To pass, you need to answer at least 75% of the questions correctly.
