The 2025 ACQUIRE Experiential Leadership Course is not your typical workshop that ends with certificates. It is a uniquely blended Course that begins with a challenge: Can healthcare workers who have mastered Quality Improvement theory now drive improvement change in their real-world hospital setting?
Let’s take a Quick Look at Who Got In.
Earlier this year, ACQUIRE put out a continent-wide call: “If you believe your team is ready to lead a Quality Improvement project, APPLY!” and the response was overwhelming! Have a look at the C-suite leadership, Quality Improvement Mentors and Coaches, and Healthcare Quality Improvement teams that are bravely taking on improvement gaps in their hospitals.
