This volume reflects on how anthropologists have engaged in medical
education and aims to positively influence the future careers of
anthropologists who are currently engaged or are considering a
career in medical education. The volume is essential for medical
educators, administrators, researchers, and practitioners, those
interested in the history of medicine, global health, sociology of
health and illness, medical and applied anthropology. For over a
century, anthropologists have served in many roles in medical
education: teaching, curriculum development, administration,
research, and planning. Recent changes in medical education
focusing on diversity, social determinants of health, and more
humanistic patient-centered care have opened the door for more
anthropologists in medical schools. The chapter authors describe
various ways in which anthropologists have engaged and are
currently involved in training physicians, in various countries, as
well as potential new directions in this field. They address
critical topics such as: the history of anthropology in medical
education; humanism, ethics, and the culture of medicine;
interprofessional and collaborative clinical care; incorporating
patient perspectives in practice; addressing social determinants of
health, health disparities, and cultural competence;
anthropological roles in planning and implementation of medical
education programs; effective strategies for teaching medical
students; comparative analysis of systems of care in Japan, Uganda,
France, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada and throughout the United
States; and potential new directions for anthropological engagement
with medicine. The volume overall emphasizes the important role of
anthropology in educating physicians throughout the world to
improve patient care and population health.
