Abstract
In this brief overview of the issues relating to health care teams in geriatric care, some advantages of multidisciplinary team care versus care by an individual practitioner are outlined. An examination of barriers to teamwork and strategies to overcome them follows. Finally, a Canadian program in which medical students and family practice residents participated in interdisciplinary teamwork is described.
