Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education, (Hardcover)

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.
