Overview

Biomedical Anthropology is offered by University of South Florida. Students will learn to use biological, cultural, and medical anthropology to approach human health from a holistic, cross-cultural perspective.

Key Facts

Students will learn how to examine human health and well-being in the context of human biological and cultural diversity, understand the connections between health and disease and human social and evolutionary contexts, and apply these anthropological perspectives to human illness, treatment, and healthcare systems. The Biomedical Anthropology major provides 1) an understanding of the core anthropological theories and methods used to study human health and illness, 2) an introduction to the basics of biological science, 3) an awareness of social inequalities and how they are manifested in human bodies, 4) an introduction to the ethics of human research, and 5) research, critical thinking, and writing skills that can be used in a wide variety of professional settings and graduate work, including professional school for allied health careers. Alongside their coursework, students will learn through community-based, applied research that is holistic and interdisciplinary.
