Overview

The IHI Open School is a global learning community, here to support you and your team in providing the best possible care. We offer three important ways to learn — because people making changes in complex systems need different types of education and support.

When you engage with the Open School’s online education, local Chapters, and guided improvement projects, you join more than 500,000 interprofessional learners from universities, organizations, and health systems around the world in building core skills in improvement, safety, system design, and leadership.

Below is an overview of offerings from the Open School. To learn more, explore the three sections of our website, and take our free course OS 101: Introduction to the IHI Open School: Join the Movement to Improve Health & Health Care.
