The Clinical Quality Fellowship Program (CQFP) is a 15-month program offered by the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) and the United Hospital Fund (UHF) to create the next generation of clinical quality leaders in the New York metropolitan region. The CQFP teaches clinicians the skills they need to lead quality improvement and patient safety initiatives at their hospitals. Participants learn how to use a wide variety of tools and strategies to advance quality and patient safety from a faculty of quality improvement leaders drawn from the region.
The CQFP is tailored to physicians and nurses with limited to moderate experience conducting quality improvement and patient safety initiatives in the hospital setting.
The CQFP is currently in its eleventh year, and is made up of seventeen physicians, eleven nurse professionals, and two physician assistants in clinical and managerial roles at their respective institutions.
