This course presents a conceptual overview of
medical sociology, sometimes referred to as the
sociology of health and illness. Students examine
a variety of social and cultural forces that
affect illness, disparities in health, and access
to healthcare. Students learn the major concepts,
methods, and theories that medical social
scientists use to understand public trends and
topics in health, illness, and medicine.
Furthermore, students will examine various
medical topics from sociological and
cross-cultural perspectives, including but not
limited to medical ethics, death and dying
processes, the work environments and careers of
health professionals, the commodification of
illness, healthcare systems and reform, and the
intersection of inequalities as they relate to
health, illness, and access to healthcare.
