2018 Knowledge Translation Bootcamp: Empowering Knowledge Use

Saturday, November 10
10:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Location: Meeting Room 13/14/15 - Convention Center

The Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy (APPT) supports the development and practical application of new knowledge across pediatric physical therapy settings. Knowledge translation implies a process for facilitating the uptake of new knowledge within clinical practice and professional education. The APPT Knowledge Translation (KT) Boot Camp is designed to enable and empower participants to harness the power of sharing and practically applying new knowledge. A workshop format will be used to build participant’s understanding of and capacity to apply specific KT strategies presented within the framework of the “Knowledge-to-Action” process. This process includes identifying and supporting key stakeholders in the knowledge use continuum, formatting knowledge in a user friendly manner, sharing information and practical experiences with others, using strategies for capacity development, and systematically evaluating outcomes of knowledge translation initiatives. Participants will have the opportunity to relate KT Boot Camp content to topics within their own practice setting. Examples of using the KT strategies to implement the Torticollis Clinical Practice Guideline across varied service areas will be shared. In addition to the presentation handout, participants are encouraged to access pre-session materials made available prior to KT Boot Camp.
