Introduction: Physicians and nurses have to effectively communicate together and believe that none of them can reach to the expected results without another’s help. As a representative of an effective communication, collaboration is process through which physician and nurse discuss healthcare problems of the patients and each one presents his/her information based on mutual respect to complete a healthcare program.
