VA Quality Scholars Program

The Durham VA Quality Scholars (VAQS) Program is a two-year interdisciplinary fellowship for healthcare professionals (specifically doctorally trained physicians, nurses, psychologists, and physical therapists) that offers applied training in advanced quality improvement, implementation science, and health systems research. The program is directed by senior scholars with active programs of research at both the Durham VA and Duke University who collaborate with national VA partners.

The Durham VA Quality Scholars Program is built around three main areas of focus:

• Quality Improvement Practice
• Mentored Scholarship
• Interprofessional Education and Collaboration
