The IHI Open School is on a mission to help faculty and trainers bring our online courses and learning activities to students and staff. As we work this year to expand and improve our library of teaching resources, we asked one experienced educator from the University of Colorado School of Medicine: What would she recommend to anyone interested in implementing a quality and safety training program? Dr. Wendy Madigosky broke down her answer into four key lessons, which we captured in this 2-minute video on the Open School Blog.
Forty years after graduating from Yale University, the black members of the Class of 1970 had a death rate that was three times higher than the expected average. Why? In his recent TED Talk, David R.

Beginning with “What Is Health Equity, and Why Does It Matter?”, learn more from Williams’ powerful eight-part Open School video series. Share the videos and lead a discussion with your students, classmates, or Chapter.
