GNYHA is committed to developing and nurturing the next generation of clinical quality leaders in the New York metropolitan region. The Clinical Quality Fellowship Program teaches clinicians the skills necessary to lead hospital-based quality improvement and patient safety initiatives. Fellows 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 and complete a Capstone Project as part of their participation. GNYHA accepts a set of applicants each year to participate in a 15-month program.
