Knowledge transfer is a deliberate and interactive approach between research and practice. This approach supports the dissemination, adoption, and implementation of the most current research and leading practices knowledge. To this end, knowledge transfer assesses research findings while at the same time examining the need for knowledge from practice environments to create adapted responses for the general public, in collaboration with researchers, practitioners, partners, and knowledge users.
Knowledge Transfer Activities
Using a consulting services-based approach, the knowledge transfer team works to develop targeted strategies and activities suited for various audiences, such as managers, staff, physicians, patients, caregivers, and the public at large.
The team supports a wide range of activities with the purpose of bringing added value aimed at the implementation of knowledge and betterment of practices.
Videos of past events are available on the MWI IUHSSC's YouTube channel. Other events are also posted on our Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts.
