What's the IHI Open School? Don Berwick,
IHI's president and CEO, explains.
The IHI Open School for Health Professions is an interprofessional educational community that gives students the skills to become change agents in health care improvement.
We’re talking about skills like quality improvement, patient safety, teamwork, leadership, and patient-centered care. Employers are looking for these skills, and patients expect providers to have them. But most schools barely touch on these topics. We’re here to help you fill that void.
Here's what the IHI Open School can offer you:
· Online courses written by world-renowned faculty. Boost your skills anywhere you have Internet access.
· A network of students and educators like you. Connect with students and faculty from other professions, states, and countries through our face-to-face campus Chapters.
· The IHI Open School Basic Certificate of Completion – NEW! Complete a set of required online courses and earn a certificate that shows employers you’re serious about improving care.
· Case studies, podcasts, videos, featured articles — and a bounty of other online resources.
Students in nursing, health administration, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, policy, and other health professions can think of the IHI Open School as their “other school” — an educational community that’s free and open no matter where they are.
There are no applications, no admissions requirements, and no due dates.
The IHI Open School — including all of our online tools and resources, and our online courses — is open and free for students of all health care professions. During this limited prototyping phase, we are also making these resources available for free to non-students.
