Through collaborative efforts with other healthcare professionals, interdisciplinary teams focus on improving individual, family, and community well-being. Therefore, your role within this interdisciplinary team becomes crucial. To be prepared to participate in a global setting, an understanding of your role as a healthcare provider functioning as a member of an interdisciplinary team is required.
By investigating scholarly literature, you will answer the questions: ciWhat are the professional requirements and scope of practice of a person who fulfills your role on an interdisplinary team in the specified country? What do you need to prepare to function in your role competently? What actions would be performed by your role on an interdisciplinary team? What is your role in an international context?

Note that you should cite at least three scholarly sources from your investigation. The evidence should not be older than five years.
