Student Perspective
“My medical ethics courses and medical anthropology have both helped me be able to have knowledge on people’s backgrounds. [They taught me] how culture and health care intersect, and, being mindful of that, I am able to provide better care to the patients I do have. When I am out there in the field, I think back to lessons or discussions we had in class and I’m like, ‘Woah, this really applies here’.”
