Abstract: (2356 Views)
Despite the emergence of the concept of boundary spanning in the fields of behavioral psychology and organization theories, this concept is still somewhat unknown in the health and medical education system. Meanwhile, one of the approaches and activities that can help to improve the health and medical education system is boundary spanning activities. Thus, boundary spanning is considered as a valuable feature for the working people in the health and medical education system, which not only makes the flow of knowledge and information exchange happen faster, but also improves management and teamwork, develops knowledge and innovation, and encourages interdisciplinary and inter- organization research in this system. Therefore, knowing the facts of boundary-spanning in academic systems and subsequently the role of boundary-spanners in this field can help universities and subsequently academics in developing and expanding the capacities of boundary-spanning.
