S3.E4: Putting Evidence Into Action

We produce lots of science. There's an estimated 125,000, medical or clinical studies published per month, in 2021. That means that there's over a million different papers with lots of different evidence in different spaces being produced a year. And yet, with all of this knowledge, we seem to see a plateau in people's health and health outcomes. How can it be that despite the availability of high quality evidence, amazing science, and proven effective interventions, there's a delay or a failure to get this knowledge into practice? In this episode of the I'm Pharmacy Podcast, we dig into moving evidence into action, speaking with family physician and scientist Dr. Noah Ivers and implementation scientist Dr. Tina Fahim.
