Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education de Caragh Brosnan

Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education

Editat de Caragh Brosnan, Bryan S. Turner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iul 2009
The Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education provides a contemporary introduction to this classic area of sociology by examining the social origin and implications of the epistemological, organizational and demographic challenges facing medical education in the twenty-first century.
Beginning with reflections on the historical and theoretical foundations of the sociology of medical education, the collection then focuses on current issues affecting medical students, the profession and the faculty, before exploring medical education in different national contexts.
Leading sociologists analyze: the intersection of medical education and social structures such as gender, ethnicity and disability; the effect of changes in medical practice, such as the emergence of evidence-based medicine, on medical education; and the ongoing debates surrounding the form and content of medical curricula. By examining applied problems within a framework which draws from social theorists such as Pierre Bourdieu, this new collection suggests future directions for the sociological study of medical education and for medical education itself.

Recenzii

''Much has changed in both medical sociology and medical education since the classic studies of the 1950s. Brosnan and Turner's distinguished team of international scholars reinvigorate the sociological contribution to debates about what sorts of doctors we need and how medical schools can best produce them.''..................Robert Dingwall, Professor and Director Institute for Science and Society, University of Nottingham, UK
''Sociological research has a long and proud tradition in studying medical education. Brosnan and Turner provide a great service by bringing together for the first time an outstanding array of international sociological experts focusing on issues related to medical education. This book is destined to be a benchmark in the study of medical education and a valuable contribution to medical sociology. I recommend it highly.''.........................Peter Conrad, Harry Coplan Professor of Social Sciences, Brandeis University, USA 
''This fine collection of essays takes a niche in sociology that has been gathering dust in the dark, shines light on it, and gives it a careful cleaning. Medical education is a crucible for understanding a phenomenon of enduring importance, professionalization, and for the resolution of contested topics in our society, such as gender and disability. This volume updates a fundamental set of inquiries that were at the core of sociology half a century ago, and, as promised, it broadens the theoretical foundation and empirical reach of the field.
This is not your father's medical profession: there are women everywhere, bioethics is an explicit part of the curriculum, chronic disease is rife, as is complementary and alternative medicine, and the profession is increasingly wed to a philosophy, 'evidence based medicine,' that would seem to subvert some of its key tenets, such as clinical judgement and patient distinctiveness. All this and more are carefully considered and integrated by the essays in this volume into a new framework that will be of interest to those who study or administer the training of physicians, and those who wonder where the medical profession is and where it is going.''.........Nicholas Christakis, Professor of Sociology, Harvard University and Professor of Medical Sociology at Harvard Medical School, USA
'This is a splendid book. Brosnan and Turner have assembled a state of the art overview of the sociology of medical education which will stimulate further research on this important dynamic domain."..........Steven Wainwright, Professor and Co-Director Centre for Biomedicine & Society (CBAS), King's College London, UK

It engages in important issues and offers thoughtful reflection on them. It should find a wide audience, suitable as it is for a range of academic courses and for general reading.  MARY RUGGIE Harvard University

Descriere

The Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education provides a contemporary introduction to this classic area of sociology, by examining the social origin and implications of the epistemological, organisational and demographic challenges facing medical education at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Leading sociologists explore topics such as gender, ethnicity, disability, and evidence-based medicine in the context of current international debates over medical curricula.
