Ph.D. in Medical Anthropology
(The Joint UCB/UCSF Ph.D. in Medical Anthropology)

UCSF Medical Anthropology Program

Historically, the medical anthropology program at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco were joined by a common set of training objectives. Over the years the foci of each program became increasingly distinct and resulted in greater autonomy for each program while allowing for a continued free flow of ideas, advising, and teaching between the two sides. The joint program today is extremely flexible, allowing for the individual needs and interests of each student.

Students in the Berkeley program are encouraged to explore course offerings and to work with faculty in the sister medical anthropology program at UCSF where critical, theoretical training benefits from the intellectual, political and practical challenges of being located in the heart of one of the most high tech-oriented medical schools in the United States. Students of both cohorts come together for the core courses (2l5 and 240) and take additional seminars together as these reflect student interests on either side of the Bay. It is expected that at least one faculty member from each side of the program will serve on the students' Ph.D. qualifying exams.
