HIS 368 - Issues in American Medicine
3 Credits
This course examines the American medical system, and how the
medical care received today is a legacy of the system’s evolution
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Alternative medical
treatments and questions about the value of medical technology have
long been concerns in our health care system. The notion of who or
what is healthy is influenced by geography, race, gender, and
ethnic class. Combined, these many factors also affect the care one
might receive, in the nineteenth or the twenty-first century.
