Educational Programs

 

The Medical Anthropology Program's teaching activities link together the Department of Social Medicine and the Department of Anthropology and include courses for Harvard undergraduates. Drs. Kleinman and B. Good teach a large core course on "Culture, Illness, and Healing," and Dr. M. Good offers an advanced course on "Medical Sociology."

Topics in medical anthropology are addressed in the new first-year HMS course, "Introduction to Social Medicine"as well as the "Global Health and Social Medicine" course for HST students. The Department also offers clinical electives in medical anthropology for advanced medical students (a clerkship in Medical Anthropology and one in Haiti).

Graduate degrees (Master's and PhD) in the field of Medical Anthropology are offered through Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Department of Anthropology). Degrees in these fields may be pursued simultaneously with the MD degree.
