Introduction to Sociology for Healthcare Professions

3 credits

Do not take SOCY1002 if you have already taken SOCY1001. Only one of these courses will count toward the major or minor.. This course is designed to present the fundamentals of sociology to an audience of future healthcare professionals. Attention is given both to micro-level (interpersonal) and macro-level (organizational) behavior. One of the major goals of the course is to enable students to ground themselves and their families sociologically, by examining their own community and social class origins. It will highlight issues of interest to healthcare professionals, along with sociological concepts that appear on the MCAT exam. NOTE THAT LAPTOPS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED DURING CLASS. Satisfies Core requirement for: Social Science
