Description
Raymond Boon Tar Lim and co-authors study student views on interdisciplinary learning in public health education, in a research paper from 2024. Public health problems cross field lines, so students need practice working across them. The study asks how undergraduates in Singapore experience such learning and what helps or hinders it.
A survey of fifty-two students was paired with interviews with eleven of them. Near half took part in cross-field learning on a regular basis. More exposure tracked with warmer views of its value. Career chances, engaged faculty, and varied experiences helped. Gaps between fields and mixed skill levels hindered. The findings guide course design in health training.
