Multidisciplinary

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Multidisciplinary refers to the approach of addressing issues or studying subjects from several disciplines or viewpoints. It involves drawing appropriately from multiple disciplines to redefine problems outside normal boundaries and reach solutions based on a new understanding of complex situations.

Definition[edit | edit source]

Multidisciplinary approach involves combining or involving several academic disciplines or professional specializations in an approach to a topic or problem. It is about creating something new by crossing boundaries, and thinking across them.

Importance[edit | edit source]

The multidisciplinary approach is important in solving complex problems and projects that are challenging or not solvable without combining knowledge from multiple disciplines. It allows for the integration of knowledge and perspectives from different disciplines to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a problem.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Some examples of multidisciplinary fields include Environmental Science, Public Health, Computer Science, Education, and Business Administration. These fields often require the integration of knowledge from multiple disciplines to effectively address issues and challenges.
