The Department of Anthropology at Case Western Reserve University, a leader in the field of Medical Anthropology, announces an exciting new programmatic emphasis in Medical Anthropology and Global Health that aims to train a new generation of scholars to meet the challenges of our increasingly globalized world. Since the inception of medical anthropology, the world and anthropology have changed. Increasingly, the local is interconnected with the global through the movement and exchange of peoples, cultures, popular ideas and practices, goods and capital, science, technology and ethics.
