SOC 170 PZ -Internship: Soc of Health & Med

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Internship: Sociology of Health and Medicine Engaging in the healthcare sector (or other arenas which have a health-oriented focus) not only provides a lens as to the relationships between health consumers and health providers, but also provides students with experiential knowledge of various arenas within the U.S. healthcare systems. Over the semester, students work at least 4 hours a week in an internship of their interest but will not necessarily be providing actual treatment of patients. In addition, our class meets once a week in which we will discuss poignant readings related to the healthcare system that not only focus on the lives of health consumers/patients but also more critically examines the social relationships.
