Abstract

The review article titled "Multidisciplinary Approach Practices in Healthcare: Family Medicine and Occupational Therapy" authored by İnan et al. and published in Volume 18, Issue 4 of your journal, has highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare, making it a valuable contribution to the field. While appreciating this comprehensive perspective, I believe that emphasizing the critical role of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) specialists in this process would further strengthen the multidisciplinary approach.

Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Uzmanlarının Multidisipliner Sağlık Hizmetlerindeki Kritik Rolü

Abstract

Derginizin 18. Cilt 4. sayısında, Sayın İnan ve ark. tarafından kaleme alınan "Sağlık Hizmetlerinde Çok Disiplinli Yaklaşım Uygulamaları: Aile Hekimliği ve Ergoterapi" başlıklı derleme, sağlık hizmetlerinde disiplinler arası işbirliğinin önemini vurgulayan değerli bir çalışma olmuştur. Bu kapsamlı bakış açısını memnuniyetle karşılarken, fiziksel tıp ve rehabilitasyon uzmanlarının bu süreçteki kritik rolünün daha fazla vurgulanmasının multidisipliner yaklaşımı güçlendireceğine inanıyorum.
