We are excited to announce our Keynote Speaker, Wendy Duggleby, Nav-CARE. Dr. Wendy Duggleby is a Professor Emerita in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta where she was an Endowed Research Chair in Aging and Quality of life. As well she has held leadership positions such as Associate Dean of Research and Vice Dean. Wendy and her research teams, working with communities, have developed and evaluated several interventions to foster hope and quality of life in older persons and their family caregivers with national and international funding support. Most recently, funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and working with several provincial Alzheimer’s organizations, a successful pragmatic trial was completed evaluating the effectiveness of an on-line psychosocial intervention supporting family caregivers of persons living with dementia. She is also the co-founder of the Nav-CARE program which is implemented in 33 communities across Canada and internationally. Her presentation title is “A practical approach to essential community partnerships in Rehabilitation Medicine research”.

Learn what differentiates Knowledge Mobilization from Knowledge Translation with reflections and lessons learned through this evolution; why and how to thoughtfully consider our audiences and dissemination goals, and tailor messages in our KMb efforts; and what tools are available to help in planning KMb efforts to enhance engagement and the experiential landscape and impact of KMb.
Knowledge Mobilization Workshop learning objectives:
- Understand what is Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) and what differentiates KMb from KT.
- Explore approaches to thoughtfully consider audiences and dissemination goals, and tailor messages in our KMb effort.
