Creative Knowledge Translation

Catalog description

This course is designed to serve as a mechanism by which students engage in scholarly work through a series of guided, and self-directed knowledge translation activities that involve the integration of skills acquired throughout the academic plan. Project-based learning is tailored to yield a culminating experience in the professional degree program that prepares students for transition to practice. The outcome of these knowledge translation activities manifests through the completion of an independent project that demonstrates a student¿s aptitude for generating solutions to real-world challenges or problems in clinical, academic or administrative affairs linked to the profession. Projects may take various creative forms and are developed to be personally meaningful. Examples of projects may include, but are not limited to, a systematic review, meta-analysis, critically-appraised topic, case study or series, and original research. The course also serves to provide interactions that help shape a student¿s projected career trajectory as it pertains to post-graduate practice settings or pursuing advanced training programs.
