Are you a clinical/applied researcher? If so, you probably are frustrated by the “research-to-practice” gap: The time it takes to move research findings about new treatments or clinical practices into routine practice. In medicine, it’s been estimated that this gap is about 17 years, and even then, only about 14%...
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a method of self-directed learning. The self-directed learning philosophy recognizes that, with some guidance and support, adult learners should be able to take responsibility for their own learning (Solomon & Baptiste, 2004). An overall goal of self-directed learning is to exercise the student’s capacity to think...
Knowledge translation (KT) and implementation science (IS) are essential to enhancing the impact of clinical practice research in speech-language pathology and audiology. The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. Wenonah Campbell We’re here to tell you about some new fields that we think can inform...
One of the reasons that you would want to go the implementation science route is that you are actually involving your stakeholders. The people who are going to actually have to do the innovation that you’ve developed, the evidence-based practice. You really are engaging with them from the beginning. I...
Why Implementation Science? Implementation science could really inform how we, as a field, ensure that the work that we’re doing — the evidence-based practices we come up with — get put into use. I think we have great examples from other fields to draw from about how it can be...
How did you get started in implementation science as a speech-language pathologist and an early-stage investigator? So, it wasn’t something that I knew I was doing when it happened. When I was doing my doctoral research, I happened to write a conceptual paper about how we could use knowledge about...
