SFU-UBC Implementation Science Training Initiative

The UBC Knowledge Exchange and SFU Knowledge Mobilization units, in partnership with UBC Health and Genome BC, are thrilled to announce the intake of the second cohort for the SFU-UBC Implementation Science Training Initiative.

This exciting new collaborative initiative is aimed at increasing British Columbia's research capacity in implementation science by increasing grant funding for projects by BC-based researchers and growing the province's network of implementation scientists. This is a two-year training program targeted towards early to mid-career health researchers from a wide range of health-related topics and disciplines who are interested in or embarking on projects that encompass the science of implementation.

What is primary team-based care?  

Primary care is a model of care that supports first-contact, accessible, continuous, comprehensive and coordinated person-focused care. Within a team-based model of care, multiple health care providers from different professional backgrounds work together and with patients/clients, families, caregivers, and communities to deliver comprehensive health services across health settings.
