Researchers in applied linguistics have found medical and health
contexts to be fertile grounds for study, from macro-levels of
conceptual analyses to micro-levels of the "turn-by-turn." The rich
array of health contexts include medical research itself, clinical
encounters, medical education and training, caregivers and patients
in everyday life - from the formal and ritualized to the ad hoc and
ephemeral. This volume foregrounds the crucial role of applied
linguists addressing real world problems, while simultaneously
highlighting the varied ways that health can be understood as a
rich site of language inquiry in its own right. Chapters cover a
range of health topics including medical training, medical
interaction, disability in education, health policy analysis and
recommendations, multidisciplinary research teams, and medical
ethics. While reporting and reflecting on their specific topics in
clinical and health contexts, contributors also articulate their
own hybrid identities as professional collaborators in health
research, education, and policy.
