The process of clinical knowledge translation contributes to clinical decision-making along with interactions with other healthcare professionals, their patients, and the communities they serve. Clinical practice guidelines, patient care experience, and continuing medical education are some of the components that contribute to clinical knowledge translation. The knowledge and interactions help inform a physician’s salient beliefs.
