It takes an average of 17 years for evidence to make its way into practice. The fields of knowledge translation and implementation science are seeking to change this. And, today we are looking at a scoping review of knowledge translation research in rehab.

To be frank, I think the article is pretty convoluted. (Which is funny since it comes from researchers interested in knowledge translation.) But, it certainly gives us a good jumping off point to talk about the challenges around knowledge translation, and the need for innovation in this field.

We're excited to welcome Tim Dionne, PhD, OTR/L to the podcast. His research emphasis is on supporting therapists providing quality care, through knowledge dissemination and dissemination and implementation research methods.
