What does Dr. Don Berwick, who had a big hand in starting the Open School back in 2008, think of the fact that it’s grown so quickly? “[The Open School] can be catalytic in changing health care far more than I would have hoped,” he said. “If this is not changing the world, I don’t know what is.” If you’re one of the now more than 500,000 Open School learners, thank you for being a part of this movement. A letter from IHI President and CEO, Derek Feeley, commends our students and shares examples of your amazing work.
Several educators from Texas, who teach with the Open School, recently conducted a study of the effectiveness of engaging residents to help teach quality improvement to medical students. Resident teaching assistants completed Open School courses and received coaching, including tips on small-group facilitation. The findings? “Preclinical students value the interaction with residents … Residents gain valuable experience in small group facilitation and leadership.” Learn more about teaching with the Open School in the new IHI Open School Faculty Guide: Best Practices for Curriculum Integration.
