This interactive workshop will introduce physiatrists and rehabilitation professionals to the fundamentals of QI, with a focus on practical tools you can bring back to your clinical, academic and administrative work. Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to identify high-impact project ideas, apply QI tools such as process maps, and design a small-scale project relevant to their practice. Whether you are new to QI or looking to refresh your skills, this session will give you the confidence and know-how to start making meaningful changes in rehabilitation care.
