Sessional Lecturer- HAD2005H- Quality Improvement Skills for Healthcare Leaders
Posting Date: September 21, 2026. Program: Master of Science in Health Systems Leadership and Innovation (HSLI). Sessional Dates: Winter 2027, January‑April. Existing Vacancy: Yes. Course Title: HAD2005H‑ Quality Improvement Skills for Healthcare Leaders.
About the role
This course provides participants with opportunities to strengthen their understanding of concepts of quality improvement (QI) in health care, and sharpen their skills in applying practical tools for measuring and improving quality. While these skills can be used in all settings, the emphasis will be on practical tools which do not require access to expensive technology or IT infrastructure and hence are most appropriate in low-resource settings such as developing countries or low-income communities within Canada. Furthermore, students will be exposed to scientific literature on attempts at applying QI science in such settings, and learn about frequently encountered barriers to implementing change in vulnerable populations.
