Medical jargon for anything that crosses between different specialist departments — an interspecialty consultation brings a cardiologist and a neurologist into the same conversation about one patient. As medicine becomes more complex and conditions overlap multiple body systems, interspecialty collaboration is increasingly the norm rather than the exception. It's the opposite of siloed care.
The patient's case was so complex that the team arranged an interspecialty meeting between cardiology, nephrology, and endocrinology.
