Instructor

With extensive training and experience in both the social and health sciences, Dr. Howard Schachter has played both a leadership and collaborative role, locally, nationally and internationally, as an expert practitioner of the science and art of knowledge synthesis, a generic methodology that aims to derive knowledge primarily (though not exclusively) from quantitative research evidence and for the purposes of informing policy and practice. Moreover, his greatest passion involves providing educational opportunities, training and mentorship for a wide range of professional and lay organizations and individuals, helping them to acquire the perspective and skills needed to conceive, plan, implement and assess the value of stakeholder-tailored applications of knowledge synthesis.
