Practicing Knowledge Translation (PKT)

PKT is a professional development course on how to apply KT science to real-world implementation projects to enhance and sustain project outcomes.

The course focuses on empowering individuals and organizations in the health system with the knowledge, skills, and support to effectively do KT by learning how to:

• Develop an Evidence-informed, Theory-driven Program (ETP)
• Map barriers & facilitators to change using theories and frameworks
• Systematically select and operationalize implementation strategies
• Plan for implementation, evaluation and sustainability

PKT is geared towards individuals in any health-related discipline (e.g., health care, public health, mental health) who are responsible for implementing change. Previous participants have come from a range of organizations (e.g., hospitals, funding organizations, and government agencies) with a variety of backgrounds (e.g., educators, managers, clinicians, knowledge brokers, researchers). Since 2015, PKT has been delivered to 133 participants across 6 cohorts of KT practitioners in 4 countries (Australia, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Canada).
