Division of Medicine and Society Division Head: Stephen Post, PhD |
|
In 1971, when Stony Brook's Health Sciences Center opened, Ed Pellegrino founded the Division. At its inception the group had faculty members representing the disciplines of history, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and philosophy and law. It was responsible for courses integrating social sciences and humanities into the medical school curriculum. Over the past twenty-five years, though the locus, size, and composition of the division have changed, the importance of interdisciplinary teaching in the medical school at Stony Brook has continued unabated. |
