COURSE SUMMARY

Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the integration of research findings and evidence into healthcare policy and practice. It seeks to understand the behaviour of healthcare professionals and other stakeholders as a key variable in the sustainable uptake, adoption, and implementation of evidence-based interventions. The aim of this module is to equip learners with skills, theories, strategies and designs to implement evidence based global health interventions.
