State
Medical sociology is the systematic study of how humans manage health, illness, disease, and healthcare for both the sick and the healthy.
Show
A medical sociologist studies the doctor-patient relationship and healthcare's socioeconomic structure, distinct from a clinician's study of a disease's biology.
Watch for
Medical sociology examines the social dimensions surrounding illness; it does not replace or compete with biomedical explanations of disease.
