An interdisciplinary team approach to development of health professions education. 1984

C McPherson, and J K Wittemann, and C S Hasbrouck

In this article, the authors provide a practical approach to developing interdisciplinary educational programs for health professions students from different colleges. A three-stage model that enables interdisciplinary teams of faculty members to collaborate during planning and implementing programs is described. These three stages are identifying interdependence, exploring roles and sources of influence, and developing work methods. Common problems occurring during each stage and suggested solution alternatives are cited. The value of this model is the translation of philosophical perspectives into workable methods.
