About Social Studies of Medicine

About Social Studies of Medicine

The Minor Concentration in Social Studies of Medicine is an interdisciplinary concentration of courses designed to address the needs of:

  1. undergraduates preparing for one of the health professions, and
  2. social sciences and humanities undergraduates who want to gain a broader interdisciplinary understanding of medicine and health issues.

The Minor Concentration in Social Studies of Medicine presents medicine as a complex network of institutions, cultures, and political relations embedded in the institutions, cultures, and political relations of the larger society. Courses are divided into three groups: History of Medicine, Anthropology of Medicine, and Sociology of Medicine.

The Minor Concentration consists of 18 credits. Students are required to take 6 credits from each of the three groups.

Note: No overlap is permitted with courses counting toward the student's Major Concentration.
