Specialist Knowledge Translation Training™
The Specialist Knowledge Translation Training (SKTT™) is designed for those interested in sharing knowledge with audiences beyond the academic community. The workshop teaches the unique skillset of knowledge translation (KT) practice, including understanding how to increase the impact potential of research, building practical KT planning skills, and communicating with various audiences.
The workshop is appropriate for educators, scientists, clinicians, and KT professionals. While the focus is on health, the material is highly relevant to individuals working in other sectors.
