Spanish term

interfases

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
Not keen on the literal option here.

Para hacer frente a este reto es esencial la interacción continua y fructífera entre bioespecialistas (médicos, cirujanos, biólogos, bioquímicos) con ingenieros y científicos. Asimismo, se plantea como muy importante el desarrollo de formación (grado, postgrado y doctorado) en las **interfases** entre ambos mundos (ingeniería biomédica, ingeniería biológica, biotecnología, nanomedicina).

Lisa I see what philgoddard is talking about:

interface, overlap, convergence, intersection
usage: the overlap where two theories or phenomena affect each other or have links with each other; "the interface between chemistry and biology"

I guess you have the option of using overlap if you don't want to use interface

Lisa; in answer to your comment below, it's very widely used in a non-IT context. Try Googling "public private sector interface", for example.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Phil - I saw the wordreference entry but when I google 'interface' I just get the expected IT related contexts, and wondered whether there was an alternative to using this word.
