Knowledge Translation through Collaboration - COA/CORS/COF: Opening Remarks
Description
In this session led by Hans Jurgen Kreder, attendees are welcomed to an important knowledge translation event. Kreder builds a sense of community by acknowledging that, after years of separation, many in the audience may not have seen friends for a long time, leading to informal conversations as people settle in. The focus of the session is on translating research knowledge into practical action that can benefit society, specifically in the realm of orthopedic health.
The session seeks to share valuable insights from researchers who have collaborated with the Canadian Orthopedic Association (COA) and the Canadian Orthopedic Foundation, emphasizing that knowledge transfer from researchers to practitioners is crucial to implementing their findings in real-world scenarios.
Kreder underscores the significance of donations to orthopedic research, asserting that even small contributions can have a substantial impact. The Canadian Orthopedic Foundation is introduced as a charitable organization aiming for pain-free mobility for Canadians, dedicated to advancing research, education, and care in musculoskeletal health. The foundation prides itself on its rigorous, peer-reviewed grant process that supports researchers nationally and catalyzes further innovation and funding opportunities.
The anticipation builds as Kreder sets the stage for presentations from various researchers, who will illustrate the practical implications of their work and how it can lead to improved health outcomes globally. Kreder's enthusiasm suggests an engaging and informative afternoon ahead.
