Early Experiences After Adopting a Quality Improvement Portfolio Into the Academic Advancement Process.

The QI portfolio was one part of a broader effort to create opportunities to recognize and support faculty involved in improvement work.

This will also drive desired dissemination to other departments locally and other AMCs nationally who are similarly committed to cultivating faculty career paths in systems improvement.
