title: Doing interdisciplinary research in social sciences and medicine.
abstract: Research themes of interest to both clinical and social sciences have been proliferating in recent years. While the personal experiences of individuals who conduct interdisciplinary research probably vary widely, several general models of research and its conduct seem to be quite common. This is illustrated using the author's personal experiences, beginning from his disciplinary roots in medical geography.
