Two important goals in allied health education are to prepare future allied health professionals to function as members of interdisciplinary teams and to increase their awareness of issues related to the growing older adult population. The responsibility for achieving these goals rests on the faculty and administrators of allied health education programs, who may not themselves be proficient in either of these domains. A multidisciplinary team of health educators and administrators was brought together to produce six problem-based learning (PBL) cases related to older adults. Members of the team represented a variety of disciplines in health care, diverse philosophies of educational development, a variety of roles in allied health education, and differing levels of knowledge of issues related to older adults--parameters similar to those found in the members of an interdisciplinary healthcare team. The methods by which this multidisciplinary group functioned and the dynamics in attaining the goals of the project are presented.
联合健康职业教育的两个重要目标是，让未来的联合健康职业人员能够作为跨学科团队的成员发挥作用，并提高他们对与老年人口增长相关问题的认识。实现这些目标的责任落在联合健康职业教育项目的教师和管理人员身上，而他们自己可能并不精通这两个领域中的任何一个。一个由健康教育家和管理人员组成的多学科团队聚集在一起，编写了六个与老年人相关的基于问题的学习（PBL）案例。该团队的成员代表了医疗保健领域的各种学科、教育发展的不同理念、联合健康职业教育中的各种角色，以及对与老年人相关问题的不同知识水平——这些参数与跨学科医疗团队成员的参数相似。本文介绍了这个多学科团队的运作方式以及在实现项目目标过程中的动态情况。
