The health anthropology seeks to know the link between the concepts of health, environment and pay homage to the medico-biological requirements with numerous cultural stimuli that act before and during illness. The acquisition of an "anthropological approach" allows you to put into due consideration the biological determinants of the disease.
The course has as main objectives:
- To make the student capable of dealing with the issues related to health, the environment (biotic and abiotic), the disease through an "anthropological perspective";
- Become aware of the close relationship between the human being and the natural and social environment.
Students must:
- Acquire adequate knowledge and skills of an effective understanding of the concepts in class.
- Be able to apply their knowledge and understanding and solving problems related to anthropology of health in all its extensions
- Know how to use both at the conceptual level and at the operational knowledge gained self-evaluation skills and skills in different application contexts
- Develop appropriate learning skills that enable them to continue to deepen
autonomously the main themes of discipline, especially in the workplace in which they will operate.
Courses are taught by e-learning methodology (supplemented by lectures) through "blocks" of 10-15 minutes each; it is recommended that the student develop the content after each detachment.
