Emerging Leader Programme

2018 - 2019 Call for Applications

Each year, The International Society for Quality in Health Care offers applicants from developing countries or countries with economies in transition, an opportunity to apply for our Emerging Leader Programme.

 

Training and supporting emerging leaders from Low or Lower Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) is a means of advancing quality and safety in healthcare in those countries through geometric progression. 

​

Strategically placed leaders have a capacity to transfer knowledge, ideas and skills to groups they are in a position to influence who in turn may transfer knowledge to extended groups.

 

Each year, one applicant will be chosen by our Committee as the Emerging Leader. 

 

The Emerging Leader Programme will be tailored for the successful candidate and they will also be enrolled in the ISQua Fellowship Programme. The successful candidate may also have the opportunity of being hosted as an Intern in the World Health Organization (WHO) Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland. This will give the successful candidate the opportunity to:

  • Be fully immersed in the workings of the WHO unit focused on quality;
  • Support specific technical areas of work with a focus on quality improvement;
  • Support development of the WHO Global Learning Laboratory on quality UHC;
  • Provide input into team activities.

 

ISQua encourages direct applications from interested individuals and also welcomes third-party nominations of individuals who are considered to be future leaders in quality and safety in health care. 

 

Each year, one applicant will be chosen by ISQua as the Emerging Leader.  A programme will be tailored to suit the needs and existing skills of that individual.  A typical programme will involve travel abroad where the individual will work with, and learn from, skilled people in their field. The objective of the Emerging Leader Programme is that the participant will then take this new learning and use it to help implement projects or processes in their own country when they return.

 

To Apply: Complete the application form available on the ISQua website and return it, and supporting documents, to ccurran@isqua.org by 12th October 2019.
