| Description: |
The Center for the Study of Society and Medicine and the Center on Medicine as a Profession conduct an interdisciplinary program of research and teaching, drawing on history, sociology, and anthropology for the study of medical practice. Current projects include research on the dilemmas that emerge in the course of medical school training, (e.g., pharmaceutical company gifts, cheating, substance abuse, and access to scientific data); the ethics of organ transplantation; and the relations of drug and device companies to physicians. The elective provides students an opportunity to join in one of its ongoing projects. Students must arrange clerkships with faculty before selecting this elective; it is also possible to arrange to pursue topics of interest to the student. This is a full‑time elective; joint clerkships with clinical faculty are also encouraged.
