Mentorship

The QuIG will endeavor to play a supportive role in the development of QI projects undertaken by junior or fellow members.  This may involve aiding in the development of project design, implementation, data interpretation, manuscript preparation and presentation. The QuIG will also serve as a liaison to other members of PERC to provide counsel in these areas should this be anticipated to benefit the project lead.
