Canadian Patient Safety Institute is pleased to introduce the members of our Knowledge Translation and Implementation Science Faculty. These experts in knowledge translation and implementation science were recruited from across Canada as well as internationally.

The Faculty supports the important work of SHIFT to Safety, shifting focus from clinical interventions to behaviour change, implementation science and knowledge translation interventions. By shifting the focus from what to do to how to do it, the KT&IS Faculty is helping Canadian Patient Safety Institute to give the public, healthcare providers, and leaders tools and resources to improve patient safety in Canada.
