Course Description
Knowledge translation has evolved from its original focus on the
effective dissemination of information from researcher to research user. KT is now understood to be a process of
engagement among those who generate knowledge and those who use that knowledge
to develop policies, programs or deliver health services. The field reflects a
rich history within multiple disciplines.
In this graduate-level course, we will gain a contemporary understanding
of the field by: Discussing primary studies and (systematic) review articles; Considering
related commentaries by scholars in the field; Emphasizing the science of KT
(in contrast to the application or doing of KT); Becoming familiar with
perspectives across various disciplines. Cross-listed with HS 9623 –
Perspectives in Knowledge Translation.
