The Sociology of Health & Medicine program provides students with an integrated curriculum focusing on the social, demographic, cultural, political, and ethical factors influencing health behaviors and policies. This minor and subplan address increasing interest among pre-health undergraduates for an LSA program that explores the intersection of health and society. Health educators also increasingly acknowledge sociology as an essential component of comprehensive premedical education. Studying Sociology equips you with analytical frameworks to tackle contemporary social challenges. Whether examining inequality, migration, poverty, or criminal justice systems, Sociology develops critical thinking abilities, data analysis techniques, and skills for constructing evidence-supported positions. Sociology investigates how social contexts shape and are shaped by human actions.
