"At last a book that provides a theory for interdisciplinary health
care teams. A thoughtful and provocative analysis of what teams
are, how they work and how they can work better. This book will be
invaluable to anyone who wants to learn about teams or to teach
others about teams. It is full of useful real-world examples of how
health care teams operate. I recommend it for all health care
students and professionals who are expected to know how to be a
team member without ever having been trained."-Kathy Hyer, DrPAL

"It is extremely exciting to note the new work of Theresa Drinka
and Phil Clark in their textbook, entitled Healthcare Teamwork:
Interdisciplinary Practice And Teaching. Teams have changed
drastically over the last decades, and this new book adds
substantially to our understanding of what needs to be
accomplished, and what should be considered when planning for
interdisciplinary health care teams training and practice. The text
is brought alive with interesting vignettes, excellent tables and
graphics, and the authors use their substantial knowledge of the
subject to bring us the latest content needed for understanding
interdisciplinary practice and teaching. This text should be
required reading for all undergraduates who will ultimately become
clinicians in order to prepare them for the real world of
practice."-Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN Professor of Nursing New
