Medical sociology looks at how a person's culture, feelings, and other social factors play a role in their health-care choices. A medical sociology degree can help prepare you for a career in health care, research, government data analysis, or other industries.
To begin your education, you'll take courses in medical sociology, medical social theory, and research methods/statistics. You'll then move on to electives on special topics that interest you, such as Death and Dying, Biology and Society, and Minority Aging. We know, some of these topics can get a little heavy—but they're important. And when you pair them with a pre-professional medical program, you'll have insights to social behaviors that can be invaluable to you throughout your career.The Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Sociology at UAB is designed for students seeking a scientific methodical approach to the discipline of Medical Sociology, which provides "an analytic framework for understanding the social contexts of health, illness, and health care" (American Sociological Association, 2015).
