How to proceed from the care to "take care"? The health anthropology seeks to make known the link between the concepts of health, environment and care, conjugating to the medico-biological requirements with numerous cultural stimuli that act before and during the illness. The acquisition of an "anthropological approach" allows you to put into due consideration the non-biological determinants of the disease. Wide publicity should be given to the study of individual variability .
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.
