VA Quality Scholars

The VA Quality Scholars Fellowship has been training leaders and scholars in healthcare improvement for the VA for over 20 years, leading change nationally and internationally.

The VA Quality Scholars Fellowship consists of nine active sites across the United States, as well as an affiliate site in Toronto, Canada. Each site in the US consists of a partnership between a VA hospital and an academic institution. It has an interprofessional emphasis with physicians, doctoral-trained nurses, clinical psychologists and pharmacists as fellows and faculty. Fellows use their 2 years to focus on healthcare improvement research and scholarship, operations leadership, and teaching quality and safety.
