چکیده

Interprofessional conflicts (IC) in healthcare settings pose significant challenges for medical residents, who are often trained in discipline-specific environments. The transition to amultidisciplinary team approach, which is increasingly necessary in modern healthcare, can be difficult without proper training in communication, negotiation, and teamwork. This articleexplores the gaps in Graduate Medical Education regarding interprofessional collaboration and offers a framework—the ABCs (Acknowledgment of Expertise, Balancing Power Dynamics,Clear Communication)—to enhance medical residents’ ability to resolve conflicts. Implementing these strategies not only improves the work environment for residents but also enhances patient care and promotes a more integrated healthcare system.
