Reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health care: an integral part of quality improvement scholarship

5) QSHC invites manuscripts from students and trainees that report strategies for quality improvement and patient safety Students and trainees provide a fresh perspective and a critical lens on quality and safety in patient care. That having been said, the editors of QSHC will apply the same rigorous review criteria to these submissions that apply to all manuscripts on these topics. The editorial expectation of excellent scholarship in these reports will provide both an obligation and an opportunity for teachers and investigators to use their students' preparation of such manuscripts as the context for effective teaching in these fields.
