Title: From the Lab to the Village: My Career Path and Life's Work
Description: Over the years I have come to realize how often the bridge from the lab to village is broken, and it drives me crazy… Every scientist, engineer, politician, and entrepreneur experiences the “delivery gap” at one time or another. Having knowledge about what works is no guarantee it will reach the people it’s intended for. What is needed is Implementation Science, a methodology that can guide the uptake and adaptation of evidence-based innovations and practices to local constraints. In this talk I describe my journey from the lab to the village, both metaphorically and literally.
Speaker: Professor Obidimma Ezezika is an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, in the Department of Health & Society at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and cross appointed at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
