student exerciseUAB’s Healthcare Quality and Safety Graduate Programs are designed for those who are driven to shape a safer environment for their patients. We offer a Master of Science and a Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Quality and Safety that provide engaging and practical knowledge and skills that can be applied in real time to improve quality and patient safety. Throughout our programs, learners build meaningful connections with other students and renowned faculty.

Our programs are applied educational experiences for those who want to increase their skills without stopping their busy professional lives. Successful graduates of our programs include administrators, physicians, nurses, patient safety officers, and quality managers. UAB offers cost-effective graduate education, which allows learners to continue their educational pursuits without the burden or high tuition rates. The Master of Science in Healthcare Quality and Safety program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME).

We offer a unique partnership with the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) which makes graduate education more accessible to those with the Certificate Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) credential. This partnership recognizes the CPHQ for master’s credit toward completion of the UAB MSHQS program.
