IN THIS COURSE, WE EXPLORE THE IDEA THAT HEALTH AND ILLNESS CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD SIMPLY AS BIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA OR INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL ISSUES. INSTEAD, WE MUST CONSIDER BROAD SOCIETAL INFLUENCES AND CONTEXTS, FROM STRUCTURAL AND CULTURAL TO POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND INTERPERSONAL FORCES.

SOC 337-001 Medical SociologyCRN 12372

TR 12:30 – 1:45

In the first part of the course, we will study social causes, correlates, and consequences of health and illness. We will explore how social structures and inequalities with respect to social class, age, gender, race, etc., impact the patterns of health and illness in the U.S and worldwide. In the second part of the course, we will examine how people experience illness, analyze the roles of the patients and health care providers and their interactions, and discuss the basics of health care systems in the U.S. and globally from a sociological perspective. Issues surrounding health and health care are at the forefront of economic, social, and political discourse in most countries around the world. The overarching goal of this course is to help you become a better-informed citizen with respect to health and health-care issues by analyzing health and medical institutions sociologically.
