Your work matters. Do the right people know? This online course is designed to help researchers sharpen their communication skills and grab the attention of health system leadership, media, policymakers, funders, and other end users.
Strategic communication is a key aspect of moving evidence into action. There’s nothing worse than painstakingly producing a body of work only for it to go unseen by the stakeholders who could benefit from it the most.
