| Annotation | Collaboration among medical disciplines enables practitioners to provide optimal health care to patients, especially older people. In order to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, the University of New England created a structured academic experience for its medical, occupational and physical therapy students in which the students worked together using a geriatric case study format. Students who participated in the experience reported it to be beneficial. In addition, data collected during the experience confirmed previous research findings that these disciplines use a common clinical reasoning process to generate clinical hypotheses. (AKM). |
