Bridging Research and Action will connect partners from across BC’s health system to explore how research insights can be translated through dialogue into actionable strategies to improve health across the province. This event will bring together diverse perspectives and sectors to catalyze the integration of research and innovation into practice and develop shared aims for implementation.
This event welcomes healthcare providers, health administrators, health researchers, policymakers, patient and community partners and other interest holders committed to bridging the knowledge-to-action gap in BC. UBC Health aims to ensure the engagement of diverse interest holders across the province with in-person sessions at both the UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan campuses, as well as opportunities to connect virtually.
