The Integrating Quality (IQ) initiative is an organizational performance improvement project that was developed to assist AAMC members in enhancing their dual quality goals of providing outstanding clinical care today while educating the outstanding physicians of tomorrow. The initiative includes three phases that were developed using the AAMC's "Learn, Serve, Lead" model, and involves identifying and making available key resources and QI strategies, as well as developing a network of individuals and partner organizations working to integrate these approaches in their medical centers.
