Translating research into meaningful, lasting change requires more than just data, it demands partnership. In this keynote, Dr. Ray Markham, a rural generalist physician and long-time system leader, will explore how evidence-informed approaches can be activated through intentional collaboration across communities, disciplines, and sectors. Drawing on practical case studies from rural British Columbia and international global health work, Dr. Markham will share strategies for researchers to effectively engage with policy makers, clinicians, and communities to support system transformation. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how partnerships grounded in mutual respect and shared goals can amplify research impact, particularly in complex or underserved settings.
