DIAZ QUINONES, José; VALDES GóMEZ, María  y  BOULLOSA TORRECILLA, Armando. Interdisciplinary Work in Medical Education: Theoretical and Methodological Considerations. Medisur [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp. 213-223. ISSN 1727-897X.

Interdisciplinarity is a necessity in today’s world given the complex nature of reality that requires a multidimensional approach unachievable through isolated disciplines and fragmentation of knowledge. At medical universities, the work to attain interdisciplinarity is vital, starting from the methodological and teaching work in different faculty meetings. There are a number of essential invariant conceptualizations for establishing interdisciplinary relationships, which constitute the theoretical foundation that supports all methodological efforts to achieve this purpose. The present paper aims to conduct a systematization of the main theoretical and methodological aspects of this topic and to determine their implications for didactics considering the methodological and teaching work in medical education. The approach to interdisciplinarity conducted by the clinical sciences department during the first semester of the third year of the medical program is presented. This was achieved by interrelating and linking cognitive, procedural and axiological aspects of interdisciplinary nodes between clinical propedeutics and medical psychology.
