INTERDISCIPLINARITY IN HEALTH: INTERDISCIPLINARITY BETWEEN HEALTH BRANCHES WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF OPTIMIZING TREATMENT

Abstract

Interdisciplinarity is the process of communication between two or more disciplines. Its purpose is to solve existing problems, and is a way of joining forces from different areas to solve them. It often ends up creating new disciplines, although this is not the purpose but rather a consequence of this interaction. In the health area, specifically, we observe a more palpable interaction of this phenomenon, due mainly to two factors: 1 - the enormous number of branches, making it unlikely that a professional will be an expert in several of them; 2 - although there are this large number of branches, the human body is one, and there is not a single function in the body that does not interact with at least one other.
