The Interprofessional Health Care Team: Leadership and Development explores theoretical concepts of leadership in an interdisciplinary health care environment and provides practical examples of these concepts from the perspective of health care scholars, scientists, faculty, and health administration professionals. This comprehensive text introduces multidisciplinary collaboration in three modules: Teamwork and Group Development, Leadership in Interdisciplinary Groups and Building Sustainable, Collaborative Cultures. Each module is divided into units which introduce key concepts and provide active teaching/learning experiences. This valuable resource will help healthcare students and professionals to be prepared for future collaboration with those of other related disciplines in order to develop advanced understanding and competence in health research, academia, evidence-based practice, and health-care policy development and system transformation."--Publisher.
