Resources for our Movement Makers
The Applied Learning & Evidence Translationᵀᴹ (ALETᵀᴹ) Collaboratory was formed to explore how healthcare learning can better support the real-world translation of evidence into practice.
The inaugural ALET white paper introduced a central premise: as the pace and complexity of medical knowledge accelerate, learning must evolve beyond information delivery to support the conditions that enable clinicians to apply evidence confidently in real-world settings.
Building on that foundation, the 2026 ALET white paper series explores the next stages of this evolution. Together, the papers examine how learning design, measurement, and strategy can align to better support the journey from evidence to practice.
Through these publications and accompanying forums, the ALET Collaboratoryᵀᴹ aims to support the healthcare learning community as it works collectively to evolve approaches to clinician learning, evidence translation, and practice change in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.

White Paper Webinar and Discussion Forum
Thursday, April 30
8:00 AM PST | 11:00 AM EST
Traditional education metrics tell us that clinicians completed a program and liked it — but they don’t tell us whether clinicians feel ready, able, or supported to act. This session reframes how we think about measurement by introducing the emerging science of enablement signals—the human drivers of action that sit between knowledge and real-world practice.
Together, we’ll explore the four core enablement blocks (confidence, intent, commitment, and early execution), examine the progression and readiness indicators that map to ALETᵀᴹ Stages 4–7, and uncover why these signals may better predict practice change than current proxies. We’ll also discuss how these measures complement — not replace — traditional frameworks like Moore’s Outcomes.
Most importantly, this session invites your perspective on where the field should go next. We’ll surface shared gaps, reflect on what’s worth measuring now, and consider how a more human-centered, context-aware measurement approach can strengthen cross-stakeholder value stories and accelerate real-world impact.

From Knowledge Transfer to Behavior Change: Introducing the ALET Blueprint
October 9, 2025 | 12:00 PM ET
Despite significant investment in clinical education, we see minimal sustained behavior change in practice. This session introduces the ALETᵀᴹ white paper's framework for bridging the gap between knowing and doing.
We'll explore why traditional education falls short, discuss what actually enables confident clinical action, and examine practical approaches for moving beyond knowledge transfer. You'll learn how building confidence—not just competence—can increase readiness to act and see examples of what this looks like in educational design.
The discussion will focus on first steps for applying ALETᵀᴹ principles in your work and gather input on the real challenges you face when trying to translate education into practice.
This session previews themes for the ENABLE Unconference (Q4 2026) and begins a monthly series exploring how to engineer the path from understanding to action.
For medical education professionals, health system leaders, quality teams, and life sciences professionals ready to explore new approaches to enabling behavior change.
When Design Evolves, Measurement Must Follow
Rethinking What We Measure When Learning Is Built for Real-World Practice
This new white paper will examine why measurement must evolve alongside learning design. As healthcare learning increasingly aims to support real-world action rather than knowledge acquisition alone, traditional evaluation approaches often fail to make visible the stages of readiness, progression and early execution that shape whether evidence is translated into practice. The paper will introduce the concept of enablement signals as complementary indicators that provide earlier visibility into learning progression and help inform program design, iteration and impact assessment.
Designing and Assessing Applied Learning Journeys
What Becomes Possible When Learning and Measurement Align
Building on the design principles introduced in the first ALETᵀᴹ white paper and the measurement framework explored in White Paper 2, this paper examines how organizations can design and assess applied learning journeys that support evidence translation in practice. It explores the strategic implications of aligning learning design and measurement, offering guidance for education providers, medical societies, health systems, and life science organizations seeking to more effectively support clinician learning, assess progress along the learning journey, and make informed strategic choices about where applied learning approaches can deliver meaningful impact.
The ALETᵀᴹ 2025 Year in Review distills the breakthrough insights that emerged across the Applied Learning & Evidence Translationᵀᴹ Collaboratory’s inaugural year. It summarizes what the field learned about the readiness gap, introduces the ALET Blueprintᵀᴹ as a modern architecture for real-world decision-making, and highlights the resources created in 2025, including the white paper, Blueprint, and webinar series.
Designed as a concise, executive-friendly synthesis, the Year in Review explains why strengthening clinician readiness is now essential for accelerating evidence-based decision-making and outlines the opportunities for applied learning innovation in 2026.
