In recent years, the importance of multidisciplinarity in health education has been widely recognized as crucial to dealing with the complexity of patient care and promoting a holistic approach to healthcare. Collaboration between professionals from different disciplines allows for an integrated view of health challenges, driven by significant educational changes. The World Health Organization defines multidisciplinary education as a process in which students in health-related occupations learn together to collaborate in the provision of health services. However, questions about the effectiveness of multidisciplinary education should not be ignored, and conceptual confusion can create methodological challenges. Multidisciplinary health education is essential to prepare professionals for a constantly evolving healthcare environment, where collaboration between different specialties is crucial to providing comprehensive, high-quality patient care. In addition to improving clinical outcomes, multidisciplinary education also benefits health management, innovation in health services and effective teamwork. One example is a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare manager education, which has been shown to increase the quality of care and make healthcare delivery more cost-effective and efficient.
