Join Free →Healthcare practitioners and researchers are increasingly required to collaborate with experts spanning multiple professions. But, few professionals receive training on how to effectively collaborate with other disciplines. This CE event focuses on two skill areas that can aide effective interdisciplinary collaboration. First, recognition of likely areas of conflict and proactive preparation for collaboration. Second, effectively responding to disagreements between interdisciplinary collaborators. Together, these skill areas can help mitigate ethical difficulties that may arise through interdisciplinary collaboration; and, most importantly, can lead to improved client outcomes. Learning Objectives for Participants: At the end of this presentation, participants should be able to: Describe past and present contingencies that lead to shared ethical values between most healthcare professionals. Describe past and present contingencies that may increase the likelihood of interdisciplinary conflict. Describe how to implement antecedent strategies to improve interdisciplinary collaboration. Describe how to implement consequent strategies to improve interdisciplinary collaboration.
