This research aims to investigate how clinical audits impact quality improvement awareness, skills, and leadership behaviors in medical residents.
Conducted a retrospective multiple embedded case study within two departments at a University Medical Centre in the Netherlands.
Interviews included 11 residents, 7 supervisors, 2 training program directors, and a quality officer.
Data analysis involved examining factors influencing QI development through within and cross-department analysis.
Residents improved QI awareness and skills through practical knowledge and engagement with audit data.
Emerging leadership behaviors were noted, but progression to implementing changes based on audits was limited.
Effective QI development strongly depended on a supportive clinical learning environment and faculty role modeling.
