Medical Sociology is a concept that seeks to help students understand medicine from a holistic approach. In other words, medical sociology provides a complementary non-biomedical perspective to medical practice. It explores the covert impact of the social, psychological and emotional aspects on the health and well being of an individual or a group of people. This will includes the following:
- The social dynamics of health, i.e., social determinants of health
- The psychological dynamics of health, i.e., the psychological determinants of health
- The emotional dynamics, i.e., the emotional determinants of health
The above dynamics will be explained in their relationship with the medical determinants of health.
In its complementary role, medical sociology helps the medical practitioner to engage the patient beyond prescriptive approach to include non-prescriptive interventions that may positively impact the health outcomes of an individual.
It also provides an opportunity for the medical student to consider other branches of medicine which may not necessarily be within a health facility setting but may involve other aspects like public health or research and design of health interventions for communities. Though not a core course, yet it provides some insight into what alternatives may be open after medical school.
This is an introduction to Sociology in General and Medical Sociology in particular. This is a course provides am insight into other non-medical issues which mainly hinge on those social issues that may impact on the outcomes of medical interventions. The first year Medical student is given the opportunity to explore sociological variable in their medical practice and how they can be harnessed to improve the well being of communities they serve.
It is a very easy and practicable course which gives the student the opportunity to move out of the classroom content and envisage the field, not only in the confines of medical facilities, but into the community. It also explores the relationship between a country's policies and systems or structures and how they can be improved to achieve equitable and quality healthcare to their citizenry.
