Knowledge Exchange and Education in the Health Professions (K.E.E.P.) Lab
Description
Research in the K.E.E.P Lab focuses on education in the health professions and knowledge translation (KT) for evidence-based practices. Ongoing studies are exploring KT and health sciences education where Aliki Thomas uses an educational psychology perspective to examine teaching and learning in complex areas such as evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, expertise development, and evidence-informed health professions education. As an educational researcher and KT scientist at McGill’s Center for Medical Education, Aliki Thomas is developing and evaluating the scholarship on implementation science in health professions education. She is also leading KT initiatives provincially, nationally and internationally.
Dr. Thomas’ current research projects span three major areas of rehabilitation education and practice:
1) admissions and selection;
2) professional education (teaching and assessment of evidence-based practice);
3) professional practice and KT.
In this last arm of her research, she investigates evidence-to-practice gaps in rehabilitation practices and is involved in studies on the use of theory in the design and delivery of effective KT interventions. Aliki Thomas is interested in the concept of the scholarship of practice and the outcomes of clinician-researcher partnerships on clinical practice. She is a recognized expert in scoping review methodology.
