Introduction Effective, sustained collaboration between clinical and public health professionals can lead to improved individual and population health. The concept of clinical public health promotes collaboration between clinical medicine and public health to address complex, realworld health challenges. In this commentary, we describe the concept of clinical public health, the types of complex problems that require collaboration between individual and population health, and the barriers towards and applications of clinical public health that have become evident during the COVID19 pandemic. Rationale The focus of clinical medicine on the health of individuals and the aims of public health to promote and protect the health of populations are complementary. Interdisciplinary collaborations at both levels of health interventions are needed to address complex health problems. However, there is a need to address the disciplinary, cultural and financial barriers to achieving greater and sustained collaboration. Recent successes, particularly during the COVID19 pandemic, provide a model for such collaboration between clinicians and public health practitioners Conclusion A public health approach that fosters ongoing collaboration between clinical and public health professionals in the face of complex health threats will have greater impact than the sum of the parts.

In light of the current public health challenges, calls for more inter- and transdisciplinarity in the public health workforce are increasing, particularly to respond to complex and intersecting health challenges, such as those presented by the climate crisis, emerging infectious diseases, or military conflict. Although widely used, it is unclear how the concepts of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinarity are applied with respect to the public health workforce. We conducted a scoping review and qualitative content analysis to provide an overview of how the concepts of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinarity are defined and applied in the academic literature about the public health workforce. Of the 1957 records identified, 324 articles were included in the review. Of those, 193, 176, and 53 mentioned the concepts of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinarity, respectively. Overall, 44 articles provided a definition. Whilst definitions of multidisciplinarity were scarce, definitions of inter- and transdisciplinarity were more common and richer, highlighting the aim of the collaboration and the blurring and dissolution of disciplinary boundaries. A better understanding of the application of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinarity is an important step to implementing these concepts in practice, including in institutional structures, academic curricula, and approaches in tackling public health challenges.

Introduction Une collaboration efficace et soutenue entre cliniciens et professionnels en santé publique peut améliorer la santé des individus et la santé de la population. Le concept de santé publique clinique favorise cette collaboration entre médecine clinique et santé publique et permet de relever des défis complexes en matière de santé. Dans ce commentaire, nous décrivons le concept de santé publique clinique, les types de problèmes complexes qui nécessitent une collaboration entre les professionnels responsables de la santé des individus et ceux responsables de la santé de la population, de même que les obstacles à la santé publique clinique et les applications de la santé publique clinique qui ont émergé pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Argumentaire Il existe une complémentarité entre la médecine clinique, qui est axée sur la santé des individus, et la santé publique, qui est axée sur la promotion et la protection de la santé des populations. Une collaboration entre ces deux disciplines est nécessaire pour résoudre les problèmes de santé complexes. Pour ce faire, toutefois, il convient de s’attaquer aux obstacles relatifs aux disciplines, ainsi qu’aux obstacles culturels et financiers qui empêchent une collaboration accrue et durable en la matière. Les succès récents, particulièrement durant la pandémie de COVID-19, constituent un modèle de collaboration de ce type entre cliniciens et praticiens en santé publique. Conclusion Une approche en matière de santé publique qui favorise une collaboration permanente entre cliniciens et professionnels en santé publique pour lutter contre des menaces sanitaires complexes aura plus d’impact que la somme de ses parties.
