The Missing Piece in Clinical Assessment: Interdependence and Team Performance

Abstract

Clinical care is a team effort, and teamwork is crucial for
providing effective and efficient patient care. The performance
of medical students or clinical trainees is not only based on their
individual competencies but also on the team they work with
and the supervision they receive, making it interdependent, not
just based on individual traits or competencies. Interdependence
refers to the pattern of interactions between individuals in a
collaborative setting, which can either facilitate or hinder their
performance and impact on the overall practice of healthcare
team(Almoghirah., 2021).
