House Officer Quality and Safety Committee

The House Officer Quality & Safety Committee (HOQSC) is a multidisciplinary, resident-led committee focused on improving clinical care across the health system which has over 1,200 house officers working alongside faculty, nurses and students to provide patient care. Understanding that house officers deliver a large portion of the direct clinical care to our patients, this committee was developed to more fully leverage the unique front-line experiences of our residents. Participation in this committee engages our residents in patient safety and quality improvement efforts across the University of Michigan Health System.

Residents and Fellows for Global Health Equity

At the Michigan Medicine Pediatric Residency program, we believe global health opportunities, both local and abroad, and addressing health disparities contributes to the development of socially-conscious and well-rounded pediatricians. Residents have multiple opportunities for exposure to global health and health disparities. In addition to the opportunity to choose Global Health and Health Disparities as an area of concentration, residents also can participate in the GME Global Health and Health Disparities Group. This group supports and facilitates the development of global health and health disparities education, research and clinical opportunities for all residents at Michigan Medicine.
