SOCI - 376. Health Care in the Developing World

3 credit(s)
Beginning with the two developing countries (China and India) that together represent forty percent of the world’s population, this course takes students beyond the confines of allopathic medicine and into a world where traditional medicine and its practitioners provide health care to the general population. A significant component of the course explores the increasing interface between traditional forms of health care and allopathic medicine and the wide-ranging economic, political, and social realities that fragment populations and the impact of these realities on health and health outcomes.
