Making Space for Social Medicine in Medical School Curricula: Transnational Perspectives & Pedagogy

Illness and healing can never fully be separated from social context. Yet while medical education around the world has legible standards for bioscientific subject materials, we are far more uneven in how we teach the social sciences necessary for the study of health and medicine.

Speakers:
• Junji Haruta (Keio University, Japan)
• Helena Hansen (University of California Los Angeles, US)
• David Jones (Harvard University, US)
• Kenneth Camargo (Rio de Janeiro State University, Brazil)
• Kelly Knight (University of California San Francisco, US)
• Carla Tsampiras (University of Cape Town, South Africa)
• Nathan Ha & Marco Ramos (Yale University, US)
• Barry Saunders (University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill, US)

Organized by: Jeremy Greene, Helena Hansen, Junko Kitanaka, Fransisco Ortega, and Michelle Pentecost.

This event, sponsored by the Global Social Medicine Network, brings together educators from four continents on the challenges and opportunities for teaching social medicine in the 21st century.
