VA Quality Scholars (VAQS) Fellowship

The VA Quality Scholars fellowship develops the next generation of health professionals to improve healthcare through innovations, quality improvement, and patient safety. The program consists of 10 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. The Coordinating Center at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas administers a 2-year, national curriculum along with a range of experiential training opportunities to the interprofessional, pre and postdoctoral fellows at each of the sites.
