Introduction to the IHI Open School Chapter Network
The IHI Open School combines online courses that teach the essentials of improvement, safety, value, and more, with a community to help you lead change.
In more than 1,000 settings across more than 100 countries around the world, students, residents, faculty, and health care professionals come together in local interprofessional Chapters to improve health and health care where they live, learn, and work.

Every IHI Open School Chapter is unique. Some are led by students and residents from different health professional programs at a university, and others are hosted by a health care organization.

Professionals can purchase a subscription to access the Open School course catalog, regardless of participation in a Chapter. Learn more about course access and professional subscriptions.
Are You Ready to Lead a Chapter?
Chapter Leaders recruit fellow students, residents, faculty, and professional colleagues to join the Chapter to learn and apply skills in quality improvement and community organizing.
Faculty Advisors offer support and guidance to a university-based Open School Chapter. Ideally, Faculty Advisors hold permanent positions at an organization to promote continuity at the Chapter. To learn more about the responsibilities associated with leading a Chapter, review the
Chapter Leader Toolkit.
