Developing a valid and reliable assessment of knowledge translation (KT) for continuing professional development program of health professionals.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Knowledge Translation (KT) is expected to be a critical learning outcome of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program. It continues to serve as an area of interest among educators and healthcare providers due to its importance to evidence-based practice. This study endeavored to develop a valid and reliable KT learning assessment tool in CPD.
