MOBILIZATION
We MOBILIZE Knowledge
Bringing research and education to where it’s most needed.
Research findings often take years to be applied at the patient bedside, instilled in curriculums, and used in the wider community. Bridging the research, education, and clinical worlds is a significant challenge with far-reaching consequences.
That’s where the Knowledge Translation Program of the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute comes in. Instigating new knowledge-mobilization techniques, the Knowledge Institute is focused on ensuring the right therapy is delivered to the right people at the right time. And in the right way through proven strategies involving inter-professional collaboration.
Since it is located within a teaching hospital renowned for its social commitment, St. Michael’s is well positioned to ensure that evidence-based knowledge is shared with community groups, policy makers, and those who are often the latest to receive this knowledge, such as the disadvantaged.
By using proven processes that allow researchers, educators, and clinicians to collaborate, the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute narrows the gap between insight and impact.
