The Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education provides a
contemporary introduction to this classic area of sociology by
examining the social origin and implications of the
epistemological, organizational and demographic challenges facing
medical education in the twenty-first century.
Beginning with reflections on the historical and theoretical
foundations of the sociology of medical education, the collection
then focuses on current issues affecting medical students, the
profession and the faculty, before exploring medical education in
different national contexts.
Leading sociologists analyze: the intersection of medical
education and social structures such as gender, ethnicity and
disability; the effect of changes in medical practice, such as the
emergence of evidence-based medicine, on medical education; and the
ongoing debates surrounding the form and content of medical
curricula. By examining applied problems within a framework which
draws from social theorists such as Pierre Bourdieu, this new
collection suggests future directions for the sociological study of
medical education and for medical education itself.
