We have now learned about a number of different careers in Health Professions. What should be evident is that no one in health works alone. Interdisciplinary teams are key to providing good care for patients. An interdisciplinary team is ” a group of healthcare providers from different fields who work together or toward the same goal to provide the best care or best outcome for a patient or group of patients.” 

In 2 paragraphs (3-5 sentences each) please describe an interdisciplinary healthcare team as you envision it. Be specific, list 4 different healthcare professionals you would see treating a patient in the hospital. (You can decide the illness the patient has to give you freedom to be creative with your team. ) Then describe their role on the team and how they work together.
