The Centre for Patient Safety offers a range of consulting services, from free hour-long type consultation to UofT faculty members and TAHSN staff to external consulting.
IHPME, in collaboration with the Centre for Patient Safety, now offers a new MSc concentration in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety. It is English Canada’s only graduate program to offer a specific focus on quality improvement and patient safety.
The new concentration in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety provides MSc students with the opportunity to focus their research and learning on all aspects of improvement science, current issues in healthcare quality and safety and relevant leadership and influencing skills.
The new MSc concentration in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety is offered in a modular format to allow individuals to earn this research degree in one year without interrupting their careers.
The Centre offers Quality Improvement Workshops, which consist of 8 hours of didactic lectures and group activities to introduce your organization to the basics of quality improvement.
The Centre for Patient Safety will be offering the Certificate in Patient Safety and Quality Improvement starting in October 2013. The Certificate Course has been put on hold while the Centre works with the University of Toronto, Institute for Health Policy, Management and Evaluation to develop and facilitate a new Master's Degree in Quality and Patient Safety.
