Society, Medicine, and Health Minor

*Not a baccalaureate degree program

The Society, Medicine, and Health Minor focuses on the socio-demographic, cultural, political, and ethical contexts that underlie the medical profession and para-professions, and the social structure of health and health policy. This minor is ideal for students who plan to work in settings which require a strong background in the social aspects of medicine and health, and for students who plan to go to graduate school in sociology, urban planning or public health, or to pursue advanced training in any of the wide range of health professions.
