Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science is a growing research field that seeks to inform how evidence-based interventions can be successfully adopted, implemented, and maintained in healthcare delivery and community settings. Medical professionals are increasingly required to meet benchmarks and performance metrics for delivering evidence-based practices. Researchers are now required to demonstrate the public health impact of their study findings.
D&I Science can empower clinicians and scientists to:
Enhance the relevance and impact of research careers
Interface closely with healthcare leaders and staff as partners, breaking down the research-practice divide in order to achieve the ultimate goal: to increase the public health impact of evidence-based innovation
Integrate methodologies into clinical trial designs and speed the development of evidence-based interventions that have demonstrable public health impact
Through this 2.5-day Implementation Science Bootcamp, attendees will learn the skills and tools needed to increase the adoption of evidence-based practices, treatments, and interventions in clinical and community-based settings.
Pre-registration is required.
