Dr. David Thompson
Dr. Thompson’s research interests include knowledge translation (strategies to support evidence-based practice) and aspects of interprofessional care including collaboration and education. He uses qualitive and systematic review methodologies. He is currently leading a SSHRC funded study to explore how aspects of rural environments influence collaboration. This project stems from his clinical work in remote communities throughout Northwestern Ontario.
