ISQua EDUCATION
ISQua/ASQua/JCT Joint Fellowship Programme
This Joint Programme is run in collaboration with two ISQua education partners: the Asian Society for Quality in Health Care (ASQua) and the Joint Commission of Taiwan (JCT). This joint initiative includes bi-lingual content from ISQua and content in Chinese from the Asian partners to ensure that the barrier of language is removed for health care professionals who speak Chinese.
In order to achieve the Joint Programme Fellowship (FHQS), the participants are required to attain 60 credits (JCT Content – 30 credits, ISQua Content – 20 credits, Electives – 10 credits) within their initial 12- month subscription period.
