Monday, August 25, 2025, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, Livestreamed

This Grand Rounds lecture aims to give APP Fellows the opportunity to describe primary pediatric cardiac and surgical issues in the field of process improvement. Topics include the foundational concepts of developing a PI project in healthcare including examples of pediatric-focused quality improvement projects to build on or provide the needed skills of implementing a QI project in an APP’s respective clinical practice setting and the potential impact and consequences of implicit bias as it relates to their Professional Projects. At the conclusion of the educational activity, 65% of participants will self-report an increase in knowledge of primary pediatric cardiac and surgical issues in the field of process improvement.
