Medical Anthropology Elective for 4th Year Medical Students
Oxford, Hilary Term 2013
Course coordinators: Nadine Levin (DPhil Anthropology) and Adam Gilbertson (DPhil Anthropology)
This course provides an introduction to "medical anthropology," the study (broadly) of the factors that influence health and well-being in a wide range of cultural and geographic contexts, for medical practitioners. Medical anthropology is particular useful in clinical sdettings for understanding diseases, illnesses, or conditions that sometimes evade the logic of western medicine. This course consists of a combination of lectures and tutorials, as well as informal seminars, interactive classes, and films. At the end of the course, students will give a two-minute poster presentation with their peers in the medical school, on a project which they will have developed throughout the course of the module (primarily in tutorials). This presentation can be based on existing research interests, or on something that the student has learned throughout the course.
