The purpose of this Summer Institute is to provide participants with the opportunity to increase their understanding of knowledge translation research as well as opportunities and challenges in this field. The Summer Institute will provide participants with the chance to network with colleagues including national and international KT experts.

Applications are now open for the KT Canada Summer Institute.

The theme of the 2017 Institute is: “Patient oriented research”
The Summer Institute is aimed at graduate students, post-doctoral and clinical fellows, and junior faculty and research staff who study issues relevant to KT and those who want to learn more about how to advance their research skills in this area. We encourage applications from a wide range of disciplines that span all of CIHR’s research themes (biomedical, clinical, health services, and population health).

Dr. Sabrina Wong: “Engaging Practices in Improving the Science and Reporting of Performance in Primary Care”
Dr. Wong is a Registered Nurse and health services researcher located at the University of British Columbia Centre for Health Services and Policy Research and School of Nursing Dr. Wong’s research focuses on primary health care, specifically how structures (e.g., models of care) and processes (e.g., interprofessional teamwork, interpersonal communication) can enhance the delivery and organization of health services. She is a recognized leader in research involving patient-reported quality of care, her work contributes to informing practice and system level interventions that seek to decrease health inequities among Canadian residents, including people who face multiple disadvantages in accessing and using the health care system such as those who have language barriers and live in poverty. Her current major research projects include overall leadership and responsibility for the community based primary health care innovation team grant, “Transforming Primary Health Care Through Performance Measurement and Reporting; chairing the Indicator Working Group across the 12 primary health care innovation teams, working on setting up the British Columbia Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovation Network, and the growth and sustainability of the pan-Canadian CPCSSN.

KT Canada Presents: Anna Gagliardi

Title:
Patient-mediated knowledge translation (PKT) interventions for clinical encounters

Objectives:

Learn about a variety of approaches and strategies for engaging patients in their own health care
Understand how those approaches and strategies have been employed for patients with arthritis or cancer
Identify outcomes associated with these interventions
Discuss gaps in knowledge that warrant further research

Anna Gagliardi
is a Scientist at the University Health Network’s Toronto General Hospital Research Institute and an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. She held a five-year Canadian Institutes of Health Research New Investigator salary award from 2008 to 2013 to specialize in knowledge translation. Currently Anna’s research focuses on how: (1) clinical practice guidelines can be better-designed to support health care decision-making by consumers and health professionals; (2) multidisciplinary teamwork can be supported to improve satisfaction with, and the efficiency of health care delivery; (3) higher risk implantable medical devices can be monitored to prevent or minimize patient harm; and (4) person-centred care can be implemented and evaluated.
