The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education now requires that all resident physicians acquire competence in QI before completing residency training. The Association of American Medical Colleges--the organization that represents all 126 medical schools in the United States--also recommends that students acquire the basic skills to improve care for populations of patients.
