Course Description

This course will explore how sociocultural and political economic factors in different Latin American countries have affected the development of their health care systems and contributed to marked health disparities. Using a multidisciplinary lens that will draw on and compare public health policy and anthropological perspectives, students will explore sociocultural and political economics factors that have an impact on public health and delivery of health care services in Latin America, and individual and community experiences with health care. Students will focus particularly on the Argentinian health care system through lectures and visits with health care users, providers, managers, and policy advocates throughout Buenos Aires.

A strong candidate will have a Ph.D. or its equivalent in Public Health, Public Health Policy, Medical Anthropology, or another related field. Candidates with teaching experience, and experience with U.S. institutions of higher education are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates must be employable in Argentina on a contract.
