Workshop on Kowledge Translation (KT) Basics
Presented by: Knowledge Translation Program, St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, Ontario
**Deadline to apply was August 18, 2017**
Workshop Overview
Knowledge translation (KT) is a bridge between research and real-world practice in an effort to strengthen health systems and improve health outcomes. But how do you apply evidence? At the KT Program, we believe that we can implement change in the health system better by thinking about change differently. Our approach to KT is rooted in theory and science, but our application of KT is uniquely pragmatic and focused on real-world impact. Our approach to training involves empowering individuals and organizations in the health system with knowledge and support on how to do KT.
Knowledge Translation (KT) Basics is a 2-day workshop on the fundamentals of implementing change using best practices in KT. In KT Basics, participants will learn how to:
- Identify key KT definitions
- Assess and prioritize implementation needs
- Use appropriate methods to assess the quality of available evidence
- Define the scope of change and ideal practices to be implemented
- Identify key processes that inform the selection of implementation strategies
This workshop will benefit anyone interested in learning more about how KT can be applied to their own work. Professionals and full-time graduate students involved in all dimensions of health (e.g., acute care, long-term care, public health, mental health, etc.) are welcome to attend.
