Odum Institute: Introduction to Implementation Science

Introduction to Implementation Science

This one-day course will be offered online only. Attendance is required – this course will not be recorded.

There is a substantial gap between the development of innovations in medicine, public health, education and other fields and their delivery in hospitals, communities and schools. Implementation science is an emerging field that is dedicated to the study of closing this gap by scientifically identifying the factors that facilitate and impede the systematic uptake of knowledge and evidence. It includes the study of how individual, organizational and environmental behavior impact implementation effectiveness, and how to develop and test strategies to change these behaviors. This course will provide an overview of the core theories and methods in implementation research and practice. Students will have opportunities to apply these principles through a case study.
