KNOWLEDGE GENERATION IN APPLIED HEALTH – RESEARCH AND THEORIES

Graduate

A central tenet of the DrAH program is interprofessional and inter-organisational collaboration in order to establish a leadership role in applied health research and care. To this end, students will be introduced to the theoretical literature underlying the importance of establishing communities of practice and the role of these communities in healthcare collaboration. Three important thematic areas addressed in this course will include: optimizing knowledge sharing within and across communities of practice, suggested ways to create and manage communities of practice, and the importance of sustaining stakeholder identity within communities of practice.
