Quality Enhancement Plan
The Quality Enhancement Plan or QEP is a project aimed at interprofessional education for students at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. It plays a vital role in the school's ongoing accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). In 2005, MD Anderson's initial SACSCOC accreditation certified the quality of the programs, faculty and facilities of the School of Health Professions.
The 2021 QEP development process began in September 2018 with the formation of the institution’s QEP Steering Committee. The process used by the committee was intentionally designed to encourage broad-based participation from faculty, adjunct faculty, staff, QEP committee members and stakeholders. It involved a thoughtful review of institutional effectiveness data with a focus on impacting student learning outcomes. As part of the QEP research process, themes emerged supporting the need to provide graduates with skills necessary to function in highly effective professional teams and were confirmed as recent global events demonstrated the interconnected nature of all disciplines in providing impactful medical practice.
QEP Awareness Week
QEP Awareness Week is scheduled from Jan. 25-31, 2021. Due to COVID-19, all the week's activities will be observed virtually. Students will have an opportunity to participate in a variety of fun, interactive activities, through which they will learn about MD Anderson's QEP, meet new classmates and work together as a team to achieve multiple goals.
