HLSC 7010G - Critical Perspectives in Research and Knowledge Translation in Health Sciences

This course is for PhD-level graduate students to develop skills and expertise in the synthesis, dissemination and exchange of knowledge across a range of health science disciplines. Students will examine, evaluate and apply their knowledge in three core areas: knowledge to action process theory and models including integrated and end-of-grant knowledge translation; knowledge creation; and the knowledge translation action cycle which includes adapting knowledge to the local context and population, identifying knowledge gaps, assessing barriers/facilitators to implementation, and developing and evaluating knowledge translation interventions. Course topics will aim to integrate the student’s own research and include real-world examples of knowledge translation initiatives from the local to national level.

This course has multiple delivery modes. Please consult MyOntarioTech for details.
