moniammatillisissa

Moniammatillisissa is a Finnish inessive plural form of the adjective moniammatillinen, meaning multidisciplinary or cross-professional. It is used to describe groups, settings, or activities that involve multiple professional disciplines. The form explicitly indicates “in multidisciplinary contexts” or “in multidisciplinary teams.”

The term is commonly used in education, healthcare, research, and organizational contexts to emphasize collaboration across different fields. It appears in phrases such as moniammatillisissa tiimeissä, moniammatillisissa opintojaksoissa, and moniammatillisissa hankkeissa, where several disciplines contribute to common goals. The emphasis is on integration and cooperation rather than single-discipline work.

Etymology and nuance: moniammatillinen is built from moni- (many) and ammatillinen (professional or disciplinary). The word contrasts with single-discipline or monodisciplinary approaches. In Finnish, related terms include monialainen, which can be used similarly but with slightly different nuance in some contexts. Moniammatillisissa forms often appear in formal or academic writing to describe collaborative structures, programs, or research designs.

Examples: In Finnish universities, moniammatillisissa opintojaksoissa opiskelijat työskentelevät eri alojen kanssa. Moniammatillisissa tiimeissä potilaan hoito suunnitellaan useiden ammattilaisten yhteistyönä. These usages illustrate how the form signals collective, cross-disciplinary activity.
