(Joralemon 2010:88)
Answers:
- Medical anthropologists work on community health projects, work on public and community health projects, consult for hospitals and clinics, and participate in the training of medical professionals (Joralemon
2010:95). - Medical anthropologists need to produce evidence that their ideas can improve outcomes by demonstrating that psychological and social processes impact an individual's biology and vice versa (Hemmings 2005:
97). - Medicine needs anthropology so that it can improve it's standard of care faster than any technology can (Hemmings 2005: 100).
