Goals:
- To improve communication between residents and departments
- To foster a safe environment for residents and fellows to discuss medical outcomes and difficult medical decisions
- To educate residents and fellows about risk management, adverse event reporting, professionalism standards, communication errors, case review

Case Referrals:
The ResQIC reviews cases where further discussion or investigation of the involvement of a resident or fellow is warranted. This may include but is not limited to concerns regarding ethics, professionalism, standards of care, patient safety, or adverse outcomes. If you have a case that you would like to discuss with or refer to the Resident Quality Improvement Committee, or if you have questions about our review process, please contact: rpre@gwu.edu
Resident Quality Improvement Committee membership goal:
