Abstract
Quality Improvement skills are deemed essential for future clinical practice of doctors by professional regulatory bodies. This paper presents the challenges of a curriculum development initiative to ensure that all medical students have involvement with a quality improvement project during a general practice placement in their fourth year. The curriculum development is described within a 'Plan-Do-Study-Act' framework. The learning is presented as a reflective discussion with conclusions and recommendations on how potential current barriers to implementing authentic participation in quality improvement projects for undergraduate medical students might be met. The key barriers include lack of opportunities within the curriculum structure to allow sufficient time for authentic quality improvement projects and a lack of confidence amongst placement tutors to support medical students with quality improvement projects.
