Multidisciplinary Clinics

A multidisciplinary clinic makes it possible for individuals who have complex medical needs to receive services from multiple health care teams in one location.

Multiple Providers, One Location

Multidisciplinary Clinics allow for interaction between providers, development of a comprehensive plan of care and increased convenience to patients and families.

MMI's Department of Speech-Language Pathology collaborates with other teams across MMI and the Nebraska Medicine campus to provide multidisciplinary clinical care to patients in one location. Often times, multiple providers are able to complete several assessments in a short amount of time.
