Some of the organizers are seen in the picture above, from left: Sam McAleese, Elissa Falconer, Natalie Medvedeva, and Brian Daily. Absent are Daliha Aqbal and Jameson Hollomon.
They have three sets of goals:
Learning: Organize activities to improve medical student understanding of QIPS issues;
Medical Education: Incorporate patient saftey concepts into the medical curriculum; and
Change: Create a patient safety culture of accountability, transparency and mindfulness among medical students.
They are planning film screenings, speakers, research opportunities, and social events. Get in touch with them by email at MedQIPS [at] gmail [dot] com or visit the Facebook page at GUSOM MedQIPS.

Great idea and good for them. But just read those goals and imagine if they came from the Dean of the medical school like they should have. Without in any way diminishing their accomplishment, I say shame on the faculty for not getting there first.
(And yes, I know there are big advantages to the grass roots nature of it but geez, where is the faculty.)
