InfoFair 2005 - Building Partnerships; Bridging Disciplines

Enhancing interdisciplinary teamwork among the health disciplines is vital to the quality and efficiency of health care delivery. Health care providers increasingly rely on collaborative approaches in the delivery of health care �- no matter their location, rural, underserved or urban areas. With the completion of the University of Utah's Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) this summer, opportunities abound for building interdisciplinary teamwork skills among students and professionals within the academic disciplines of medicine, nursing, pharmacy and health. Tour the Infofair 2005 Web Gallery to find links to reports, articles and websites relevant to the interdisciplinary patient care team in health sciences education and practice.
