Dr. Marita Titler is an internationally recognized expert in health services research, translation science, and evidence based practice.

Dr. Titler’s research in implementation science focuses on the organizational factors that contribute to successful application of what is known to be effective or, the ways in which knowledge is put into practice in complex systems. Because of this emphasis, she works with a broad base of interdisciplinary collaborators who hold expertise in general practice areas including public health, nursing, and the different subspecialties of medicine.
