About KTPC: 

KTPC is an in-person, five-day professional development program for knowledge translation (KT) professionals, offered by SickKids. KTPC is fully accredited by the Continuing Professional Development Office at The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine and is recognized by Accreditation Canada as a Leading Practice. The course includes 39 hours of contact time, including instruction, active learning, coaching, and consultation with a variety of expert faculty. Supervisor endorsement is required.

Participation in this intensive requires some background in KT. The curriculum focuses on the core competencies of KT work in Canada, as identified by a survey of KT practitioners. These competencies include KT Planning, KT Theories and Frameworks, Implementation and Evaluation, among others.

The course balances theory and practical application, and we invite active participation by employers/mentors to help build an organizational culture that supports KT. Developed by the Learning Institute at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, KTPC is hosted three times a year (March, June, October). Each session is open to a limited number of participants.
