Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Gap Junctions

Gap Junctions

Multicellular organisms employ a variety of ways for cells to communicate with each other. Gap junctions are specialized proteins that form pores between neighboring cells in animals, connecting the cytoplasm between the two, and allowing for the exchange of molecules and ions. They are found in a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate species, mediate numerous functions including cell differentiation and development, and are associated with numerous human diseases, including cardiac and...

Gap Junctions

Gap Junctions

The cytoplasm of adjacent animal cells can exchange small molecules, ions, and secondary messengers via the communication channels which form the gap junctions. These junctions comprise a few hundred to thousands of molecular channels, each made of two halves, called the connexon hemichannel. A connexon is a hexamer of six transmembrane connexin proteins, which assemble radially, thus forming a pore or channel in the center. One connexon hemichannel docks with a corresponding connexon on the...

Area of Science:

Integrative Medicine
Clinical Research Training
Interprofessional Education

Background:

Limited evidence exists for many widely used complementary and integrative health (CIH) practices.
A need exists for clinical researchers knowledgeable in CIH disciplines to study their efficacy and effectiveness.
The Building Research across Interdisciplinary Gaps (BRIDG) program was developed to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

To report the design of an interprofessional clinical research training program focused on CIH.
To train doctoral-level CIH providers in clinical research.
To train conventional researchers in CIH practices.

Main Methods:

The program, supported by a T90/R90 grant, has two arms: one at the University of Washington (research-intensive) and one at the National University of Natural Medicine (clinic-intensive).
Utilizes a common "Translational Science Spectrum" framework.
Includes individualized didactic training, mentorship in research and CIH, joint research projects, and interdisciplinary experiences.
Program evaluation uses the Clinical Research Appraisal Inventory (CRAI) and the Supplemental Kellogg Logic-World Health Organization model.

Main Results:

The BRIDG program successfully integrates training for CIH providers in clinical research and for conventional researchers in CIH.
The program fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between research-intensive and clinically intensive institutions.
Evaluation metrics indicate program effectiveness in building research capacity within CIH.

Conclusions:

The BRIDG program establishes a new standard for interprofessional clinical research training in CIH.
Strong collaboration between diverse institutions is key to its success.
This initiative aims to improve the evidence base for CIH practices, benefiting public health.
