PT student advocates for interprofessional collaboration after IHI conference
January 30, 2024 • SHP News
Last year, three students revived The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth’s Institute for Healthcare Improvement Open School Chapter, or IHI.
An IHI Open School Chapter is a face-to-face group of students who work together to learn and apply skills in quality, safety and leadership. The shared goal of the group is to improve health and health care safety. Every IHI Open School Chapter is unique. Academic chapters are led by students and residents representing a variety of health professional programs at a university.
Recently, first-year Physical Therapy student Mitchell McDowell, in HSC’s School of Health Professions, further solidified the university’s IHI program by attending a national conference. The Fort Worth native was one of two HSC students to attend IHI’s 2023 National Forum in Orlando, Fla.
