The Action Learning Project
Each Fellow is required to complete an Action Learning Project (ALP), which is the foundation of the Fellowship program. The Fellow designs a project, tied directly to their own individual professional and personal priorities, which will advance patient safety and quality improvement in his/her organization.
Project designs are required to reflect-and be placed in the context of-larger system transformation efforts that are now facing all health care organizations. The ALP goals, scope and outcomes are approved by the Fellows' sponsoring organization to ensure project support and organizational commitment. Fellows must provide a final report to their organization in addition to their learning community of Fellows.
Successful completion of the ALP is a critical component of the fellowship experience. Each fellow will be assigned a mentor and will also receive additional coaching assistance from program faculty, past Fellows as opportunities exist.
