This two-day course, now held in an online interactive format, is an introduction to understanding and applying key concepts of Implementation Science in a small group setting with individualized attention. The Short Course provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for learners to advance their in-depth understanding of the growing field of Implementation Science, while simultaneously advancing their own work and research ideas in this space. Learners will complete this course with concrete examples applying relevant Implementation Science theory to their own research area. Join us to acquire new knowledge and skills as well as meet and collaborate with other Implementation Science researchers.
Our Spring 2023 two-day short course will be held Friday, May 12 and Monday, May 15 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm PDT, UTC-7.
