Our Medical Anthropology Ph.D. concentration offers a specialized curriculum for students who are interested in pursuing focused coursework in medical anthropology. In particular, we have bioanthropology and social-cultural Anthropology faculty members whose research and teaching are either focused on human health and disease, or on a topic or theoretical approach that has relevance for understanding human health and disease.
We anticipate that students interested in Medical Anthropology will have bioanthropology or social-cultural anthropology as their primary field, but the concentration is available to students from any field.
