BBIF: Delicious Dinner, Interesting Information

The Health Science Students Association presents the 12th annual Building Bridges Interdisciplinary Forum (BBIF):
Health Quality Council on Quality Improvement and you: why it matters to us as future health professionals. "Staying as Energized 14,465 Days From Now as You are Today: Quality Improvement & You"

When: Thursday, March 26th, 2009
Cocktails @ 5PM, Supper @ 6PM
Where: Louis Restaurant and Bar
Only 100 tickets are available - available through your colleges HSSA reps (Shandy or Emily), Place Riel Kiosk, or by emailing uofs.hssa@hotmail.com
$15 per ticket for meal and presentation (subsidized by your HSSA)

WAIT WHAT IS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT?!
Good question, I also had no idea. When a patient gets the wrong diagnosis, is given the wrong test results, or gets the wrong kidney surgically removed, that's when quality improvement steps in. QI is basically there to make sure that none of the shocking, heart wrenching, crazy, awful things that make those health care shows you love so great (Grey's, ER, House, not particularly in that order) happen in real life.
So come down for a great meal and to learn how to not ruin the lives of your future patients!
See you there,
Emily and Shandy
