It is strong in life course studies, gerontology, HIV/AIDS disease, disability studies, health care organizations, ethnicity and health, urban health, women's health, mental health, medical technology and death and dying. A joint Ph.D. program exists between medical and business anthropology that allows students to specialize in the organization of health institutions and systems.
