Impact of Inter-professional Teams on Physician Leadership

Abstract

Inter-professional (multidisciplinary) teams have been part of healthcare for some time now. We work in a complex, dynamic industry that requires constant innovation, collaboration, and adaptation. As recognized leaders, all physicians have a clear opportunity to further influence the quality of care for patients, as well as the education and development of others. However, the times require more adaptability when working with and/or leading inter-professional teams.
