Learning outcomes

The course aims to introduce students of medicine to the approaches adopted by social sciences in the study of health, disease and medicine. The course also aims to offer a broad look at the topics in question, to guide participants to consider that health and illness are issues that can be read from both microsocial and microsocial viewpoints.
The aim of the course will be to present some of the epistemological and theoretical foundations of health sociology to allow students to develop an even sociological interpretation to address the social and relational problems of the ill person and his/her reference network, developing a capacity for reading the disease in a multdimensional way in a micro and macro sociale frame.

Program

The meanings of health and illness in a micro and macro social sense
Illness experience: body, life course, care relationships.
Stigma and culture/health - culture/illness interactions: the social representations of health and illness, their impact on people's quality of life, on the general social context and paradoxes.

At each exam, the student must pass both the Clinical Psychology and Human Sciences tests, he may not repeat one of the two tests in different sessions.
