QSEN Consultants

QSEN Consultants are faculty innovators, website contributors, and leading speakers for Phase III faculty development activities. In addition to the QSEN faculty from Phases I and II, many are frontline teachers who are innovators in quality and safety education through course or curricular reform, interprofessional education, simulation, and clinical teaching.

The Consultants will make themselves available to schools throughout the country who wish to hire experts who can facilitate local planning for curricular improvements related to quality and safety education. In addition, the consultants will commit to continued innovation and contributions to the QSEN website and to sharing their innovations at the QSEN National Forums.
