Minor in Medical Sociology

The Medical Sociology Minor focuses on healthcare as a growing sector of our economy. Programs at the governmental, private, and international levels are expanding to meet the needs of an increasingly elderly, disabled, and chronically ill population. Medical sociology is a specialty area concerned with the social dimensions of health, illness, and health care.

With the Medical Sociology Minor, you can critically examine approaches used to prevent health problems and evaluate your relative merits.
