First weekend lenary session at CCSSA 2022, chaired by @BranniganLliam and Prof M Mer. Starting with a talk by Dr Francesca Rubulotta @frubulotta on 'Knowledge Transfer Across the World' - appropriately a recorded talk made half way around the world! #CCSSA2022 #critcare #FOAMcc

Incidentally I met Dr Rubulotta a few years ago at a different congress - the amazing ventilation congress Ventilation Through the Ages - what a wonderful, passionate intensivist. I'm gonna plug the next one here, which will be next year!

Dr Rubulotta starts by explaining 'Knowledge Transfer' as a mechanism to close the know-do gap. It is the synthesis, exchange and application of knowledge by relevant stakeholders in order to accelerate the benefits of global and local innovation. #CCSSA2022

The knowledge must be LEARNED and must be USEABLE in a context. If both conditions are not met, knowledge transfer has not occurred.
#CCSSA2022

In medicine, knowledge transfer occurs via a set of formal, semiformal and informal processes. Formal - Journal clubs, critical incident reviews/M&Ms, workshops. Semiformal - teaching rounds, process documentation. Informal - job shadowing, story telling, mentoring. #CCSSA2022

How do professionals learn? This can be spontaneous or planned. Spontaneous learning happens all the time but is unpredictable. Planned learning is more controlled and targeted, but it has time and financial costs.

Informal KT models can be very powerful, particularly with the advent of social media. Mentorship, which often starts informally, can also be formalised and globalised through social media, but often falls short if not followed by sponsorship.

This is particularly true in certain subpopulations, such as women and minorities - who are often overmentored but undersponsored during professional development in medicine. @frubulotta speaks about her IWIN initiative - check it out!
