Foundations of Knowledge Translation

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.

Testimonials

Practicing KT Student

Practicing KT is one of the most engaging and useful courses I’ve taken. It has equipped me with the theory, knowledge and tools to do effective KT, and to share what I’ve learned with my colleagues. Already, the course has had a positive impact on my organization. I feel excited about what we’ll be able to achieve.

Practicing KT Student

While we were completing the course we were at the same time applying a number of the lessons to support the development of our projects. We have received incredible feedback about these from other departments in our organization, our stakeholders, and other experts in the field.

KT Canada Summer Institute Student

I really liked the engagement with other trainees and faculty members. It was a very collaborative experience.

KT Canada Summer Institute Student

I think the institute was structured very well. There was a good variety of lectures, workshops, and breaks. I never felt too overwhelmed or fatigued. The content was directly relevant to me and my work in patient engagement.

Introduction to Knowledge Synthesis for Knowledge Users Student

The course was really well organized. The modules were a great resource and will continue to be amazing help throughout my academic career.

Introduction to Knowledge Synthesis for Knowledge Users Student

The format was very user-friendly, and ideal when faced with a busy work schedule. It was flexible and allowed for the modules to be completed at one’s own pace. The marking guides for the assignments were excellent tools and greatly appreciated.

End of Grant KT Student

I appreciate the tools that were provided in this course that can assist with planning projects. I have a great deal of knowledge about education and knowledge translation, but it is grounded in other contexts – I found in particular the tools that were provided were really helpful in translating my knowledge into the health care context. I will change my planning and writing practices in future and use these a great deal. I also had little knowledge about journal metrics in a scientific context – so, the section on how to assess where to submit materials was really helpful, and will change how I look at where to send things.

End of Grant KT Student

It was a really great course, I’d definitely recommend it to others!

Foundations of KT Student

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).
