What is the added value of GITT
for Physicians?
(word format 22k)
THE PHYSICIAN'S
ROLE IN AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM
The physician on an interdisciplinary team interfaces
with five distinct groups:
1) the other team members
2) students
3) patients
4) families, and
5) caregivers.
A) Responsibilities to team members don't differ
according to discipline. They involve cooperation
and participation in the tasks at hand and respect
for the contribution of others.
B) The physician should teach these behaviors
to students as well as model them. The physician
should serve as a mentor to not only physician-in-training
but to students from all disciplines.
C) The physician should ensure that medical issues
are given the proper weight in the decision-making
process. He or she can accomplish this by describing
the relevant medical aspects of cases, so that
they are fully understood by all participating
in the development of the interdisciplinary care
plan.
