Spanish term or phrase: desde una variedad de perspectivas: científicas, humanísticas y social
En un aval académico para un estudiante de medicina:

"Para lograr esto, nuestros estudiantes son educados para integrar todos los factores que contribuyen a las enfermedades humanas y abordan los problemas **desde una variedad de perspectivas: científicas, humanísticas y social**.

He colocado: from a variety of perspectives: scientific, humanistic and social
pero me suena forzado en inglés por el orden natural de las palabras.

Muchas gracias por adelantado por sus sugerencias

agree  Marcelo González: Good points from fellow prozians. If no compensation-in-place-related reason exists, it may be advisable to say 'a range of'>'a wide range' works without a doubt, as would the more literal option of 'variety' that Yvonne (the asker) has suggested :-)

agree  philgoddard: Yes, there's no point changing it if a word-for-word literal translation works. This preserves the rhythm of the sentence.

Explanation:
An option, just in case you get fed up using "perspective" (this kind of text tends to be repetitive with its keywords).
BTW I don't think your own version sounds forced at all.
