Presenting a session at the IHI Patient Safety Congress is an excellent opportunity to highlight the work that you and your organization are doing to improve the safety of patients and those who provide care. 

This year we are looking solely for 75-90 minute workshops that target early-mid career safety practitioners and leaders and provide in-depth dives into important topics.

Session Proposals are due November 15, 2024.
