The sociology department's Health and Medicine program brings together faculty and students to examine health's social dimensions, including disparities linked to race, class, gender, and marital status. Their research explores how political, economic, and environmental factors influence wellbeing, along with broader societal impacts on healthcare systems. Collaborations frequently occur with researchers from MSU's medical, veterinary, and communication colleges. Recent studies by program faculty have received support from major funding sources like the NIH, CMS, and USDA.
