Knowledge Translation Professional Certificate (KTPC) offered by SickKids

WHAT IS KTPC AND WHO IS IT FOR? 

KTPC is an online seven-day professional development program for knowledge translation (KT) professionals (i.e., knowledge brokers, KT specialists, KT managers, and other professionals whose work has a significant KT focus). 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. 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.

WHY KTPC?  

  • KTPC is fully accredited by the Continuing Professional Development Office at The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine. Successful completion of the course awards participants a Certificate of Completion from The University of Toronto and The Hospital for Sick Children. 
  • KTPC is recognized by Accreditation Canada as a Leading Practice. 
  • Each session of KTPC is rigorously evaluated to ensure learner success and tangible learning outcomes. Participants come away with a comprehensive KT Plan relevant to their work. 
  • KTPC includes 39 hours of virtual contact time, including instruction, active learning, coaching and consultation with a variety of expert faculty. 
  • Participants also have access to faculty support following the course and are encouraged to be active members of the KTPC Alumni online community.
