[Training in knowledge translation from the view of the learner].

Current training in knowledge translation (KT) in the field of population health is mainly carried out in an academic context. However, Quebec health and social services KT managers, as well as population health researchers express a need for developing KT practical learning in a workplace context. We argue that, in line with professional development and a constructivist approach to pedagogy, KT training should include practice-based learning in addition to academic education.
