Implementation Science is the scientific study of methods and strategies that facilitate the uptake of evidence-based practice and research into regular use by health care practitioners and policymakers. This workshop offers an engaging introduction to this dynamic field by providing a broad overview of theories, frameworks, and methodologies used to bridge the gap between research and practice. Throughout this workshop, we examine how frameworks can inform the planning, execution, and evaluation of implementation strategies across various disciplines, including healthcare, education, public policy, and social services.

Learning Objectives

• Define implementation and implementation science and distinguish implementation science from related fields
