Medical Sociology
The Indiana University Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Sociology degree program at IUPUC includes a concentration in Medical Sociology along with a minor in Medical Sociology.
As a student majoring in Medical Sociology, you will explore the social context of health, health care, and the delivery of medical services.
Medical sociologists study a range of topics, such as doctor-patient relationships, the social organization of health care, epidemiology (the study of how illness, disability, and death are distributed within a population), professional education, and acute and chronic illnesses.
Reflecting and recognizing the wide range of information pursued by medical sociologists, the course offerings include social factors in health and illness, the social organization of health care, AIDS, disability, gender and health, death and dying, and sexuality.
