Overview
Knowledge Translation (KT) is the process for using evidence in practice and decision-making, thereby strengthening health systems and improving health outcomes.
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 presenting KT in a relevant and practical way so that individuals and organizations become empowered to support KT initiatives within their own network.

As a foundations course, this was an excellent course; I really appreciated the opportunities for learning through application (e.g., webinar examples of how to actually use a TMF – this was super helpful, as this tends to be a common challenge).
