Abstract

<p>Medical sociology is listed in the behavioural and social sciences section of WFME basic medical education curriculum. The MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) in USA has included sociology-related items since 2015. And the GMC undergraduate medical education guideline in UK has incorporated sociology since 2009. In response to these trends, a social science field related health care (mainly medical anthropology/medical sociology) has been added in the latest revision of MEMCC (Medical Education Model Core Curriculum) in Japan. I teach basic knowledge and ideas of health and medical sociology with reference to MEMCC and MCAT at a sociology class. It mainly focuses on liberal arts. In a small class seminar, students and I read English review papers and discuss on practical questions in order to acquire deeper knowledge on some themes of health and medical sociology.</p>
