Our courses are where medical students encounter and learn about sociocultural influences on health and medicine, social inequalities, patient illness narratives, approaches to and controversies in medical ethics, health care policy and reform, and much more. We teach medical students throughout their four years of training, as well as residents, fellows, and hospital staff. The Social Medicine Reader, an interdisciplinary textbook that emerged from our teaching, is now in its third edition, comprising Volume I, Ethics and Cultures of Biomedicine and Volume II, Differences and Inequalities./socialmed/wp-content/uploads/sites/462/2019/08/SocialMedicine_Twitter_Logo_Banner.jpg1024512
