• Get a Certificate of Completion. An IHI certificate will prove to future employers that you’ve got the skills and commitment to improve health care wherever you are.

• Become a Chapter leader. We’ll give you toolkits, support, and ideas for chapter meetings. You’ll organize students on your campus to stand up for better health care worldwide. Find out how to start a Chapter on your campus.

• Join a campus Chapter and be part of an active, face-to-face group of local students who care about patient safety and quality improvement. Here’s a list of all our chapters along with the leaders’ contact info.

• Be a blogger on the IHI Open School’s blog. Get your ideas out for other students to see!  If you’ve had a thought-provoking experience touching on quality improvement and patient safety — or if you just want to rant about your day — email us.

• Participate in a discussion about anything and everything related to health care. Interested in universal health care? Frustrated by your second-year requirements? Go here.

• Friend us on Facebook and you’ll join an active network of hundreds of people worldwide — mostly students — who share your interest in health care.

• Register on the IHI Open School website (it takes less than a minute) and we’ll send you notifications about our latest events, contests, and courses. You’ll also have access to great resources including videos, case studies, online courses, discussion groups, and more.
