·
To develop the organizational capacity and
individual skills of those involved in public health to share what works in
public health.
·
To identify, develop and evaluate relevant
methods and tools for knowledge translation; and to make those methods and
tools accessible to people involved in practice, program decision-making,
policy-making and research.
·
To identify gaps in methods and tools for
sharing what works in public health and to encourage researchers and others to
fill these gaps.
·
To build active and sustainable networks that
enable practitioners, program decision-makers, knowledge experts, policy-makers
and researchers to share what works in public health; and to strengthen
partnerships and links with other NCCs and their target audiences.
As you visit each web page on the site, you will find links
to a registry of methods and tools used for knowledge translation (that is,
from finding evidence, to using it on behalf of a patient). At present there
are 188 links on the registry, and it provides a wealth of resources for your
use.
Even better is the page on the Learning Centre (http://www.nccmt.ca/learningcentre/index.php#main3.html).
On this page you will find links to many free online educational modules. For
example, one module is “Introduction to Evidence-Informed Decision Making,”
another is “Quantitative Research designs,” and so on. These are not little
module; most will take at least 3 hours to complete, and some will take longer,
but they are great training programs.
As we return from Thanksgiving break, this would be a good
way to have a refresher about evidence-based practice. I strongly recommend you
bookmark this site.
