Abstract
This is a report of the genesis and evolution of an interdisciplinary health care experience for student teams in a gerontological setting. Six health‐related disciplines were represented in the teams. Teams functioned in an extended care facility. An attempt was made to have students involved in tasks compatible with their level of competence. The student teams faced many of the same problems encountered by other interdisciplinary health care teams, including role definition, role negotiation, decision making, and conflict resolution. At the same time, the faculty found systematic interventions necessary to ensure an appropriate balance between task and team maintenance.Keywords
