Problem-Based Learning Discussion to Introduce Quality Improvement to Residents in the Perioperative Setting

Introduction Quality improvement (QI) is a growing and critical part of perioperative medical practice. However, there are few examples of educational tools to introduce new learners from anesthesiology to QI. This may contribute to a lack of enthusiasm to learn about and apply these concepts.

Methods This problem-based learning discussion (PBLD) was designed to teach anesthesiology residents about QI in a way allowing for the application of core concepts in a group setting.
