Medical anthropology is one aspect within the broader study of cultures, the people who make up those cultures and the behaviors they exhibit. It's a closer look at how societal, cultural, biological and other factors impact the health and well-being of local communities. The Graduate Certificate in Medical Anthropology gives health science professionals and social scientists a deeper understanding of the factors that influence how societies prevent and treat illnesses, how medical systems fit within those environments and how other cultural norms impact health. The graduate certificate program includes 12 credit hours of combined coursework (9 units) and research (3 units).
