Do Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Approaches Add Value to Medical Research?

We live in a time when technology, science, communication and cultural activities are intertwined. The intense interaction of concepts with such a wide scope that requires a great deal of time and effort to be an expert makes it even more difficult to succeed. Moreover, this includes success at the institutional level as well as at the individual level. Because it is no longer enough to have high-level skills and knowledge in a single subject to reach the determined targets. Therefore, collaborating and advancing towards the same goal with people who have proven themselves in different fields becomes necessary, sometimes even necessary. At this point, we come across the concept of a multidisciplinary approach. When conducting a study, scientists often want to collaborate with a few colleagues or disciplines. Because the expectations of the readers from the studies containing many authors are great. In addition, as the number of people involved in the work increases, contrary to expectations, it is seen that the time needed for the work is longer.
