Joint Program in Knowledge Translation

The Joint Program in Knowledge Translation is a collaboration between St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.

There are many definitions of Knowledge Translation. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research defines it as "a dynamic and iterative process that includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically sound application of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians, provide more effective health services and products and strengthen the health care system."

Our research seeks the best ways to transfer knowledge in a variety of areas, including critical care and trauma, diabetes and the management of chronic diseases in the developing world, interprofessional care and continuing education in knowledge translation and presenting high quality knowledge to patients.
