Describe the development and implementation of an evidence-based practice (EBP) training program for occupational and physical therapists in a large pediatric hospital.
EBP is valued, but a known knowledge-to-practice gap between academic training and clinical practice limits routine use. This gap was addressed through an academic-clinical partnership to develop an EBP training program.
Sixty-one therapists completed the program. Therapists demonstrated improved EBP skills, knowledge, and confidence following training and a positive trend in change score for clinical outcomes and decision-making scores was noted.
Academic-clinical partnerships have a unique and valuable role to support professional EBP knowledge and skill development. Stakeholder support and engagement supported program development, execution, and meaningful outcomes.
The knowledge-to-practice gap for EBP is a challenge to regular EBP use. The described program addressed this challenge and improved therapists' knowledge, skills, and confidence. It provides a model for professional development.
描述在一家大型儿童医院为职业治疗师和物理治疗师开发和实施基于证据的实践（EBP）培训计划的情况。
EBP 受到重视，但学术培训与临床实践之间已知的知识到实践差距限制了其常规应用。通过学术-临床合作来开发 EBP 培训计划，解决了这一差距。
61 名治疗师完成了该计划。培训后，治疗师的 EBP 技能、知识和信心都有所提高，临床结果和决策评分的变化趋势呈积极。
学术-临床伙伴关系在支持专业 EBP 知识和技能发展方面具有独特而有价值的作用。利益相关者的支持和参与支持了计划的开发、执行和有意义的结果。
EBP 的知识到实践差距是常规使用 EBP 的挑战。所描述的计划解决了这一挑战，提高了治疗师的知识、技能和信心。它为专业发展提供了一个模型。
