Abstract: | The Bamako Call for Action on Research for Health stresses the importance of inter-disciplinary, inter-ministerial and inter-sectoral
working. This challenges much of our current research and postgraduate research training in health, which mostly seeks to
produce narrowly focused content specialists. We now need to compliment this type of research and research training, by offering
alternative pathways that seek to create expertise, not only in specific narrow content areas, but also in the process and
context of research, as well as in the interaction of these different facets of knowledge. Such an approach, developing 'integrative
expertise', could greatly facilitate better research utilisation, helping policy makers and practitioners work through more
evidence-based practice and across traditional research boundaries. |
