The field is concerned with basic social science research and its implications for public policy and practice.

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease), and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health problems.

Track 05- Medical Sociology and Medical Anthropology

Medical anthropology is the study of how health and illness are shaped, experienced, and understood in light of global, historical, and political forces. Medical Anthropology is one of the most exciting subfields of anthropology and has increasingly clear relevance for students and professionals interested in the complexity of disease states, diagnostic categories, and what comes to count as pathology or health.

Medical sociology is the study of the societal dimensions of health and medicine and it provides an analytical framework for understanding the social contexts of health, illness and health care. Central topics include the subjective experience of health and illness, political, economic and environmental circumstances fostering ill health. This field draws on traditional sociological issues and contributes to them through reformulations of such basic concepts as social systems and institutions, professionalism, social work and social change, and social interaction and negotiation. The field is concerned with basic social science research and its implications for public policy and practice.

Public health refers to all organized measures (whether public or private) to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole. Its activities aim to provide conditions in which people can be healthy and focus on entire populations, not on individual patients or diseases.

Track 07- Medical Sociology and Health Policies

Health policy refers to decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific health care goals within a society. An explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future which in turn helps to establish targets and points of reference for the short and medium term. It outlines priorities and the expected roles of different groups; and it builds consensus and informs people.Medical Sociologists, Social Science Researchers, Social Workers, Sociologists are the key persons in framing health policies.

Definitions of old age are not consistent from the standpoints of biology, demography (conditions of mortality and morbidity), employment and retirement, and sociology. For statistical and public administrative purposes, however, old age is frequently defined as 60 or 65 years of age or older.

Track 12- Medical Sociology and Gender

Gender is an important dimension of social life which intersects with others in social class, ethnicity and age. Gender and social relationships affects the health. Health experiences of women are different from those of men. The cultural and religious norms of a society have a profound influence on roles, attitudes, and behaviour of men and women within the society.

Track 13- Medical Sociology and Sociological Theory

The relation between medical sociology and sociological theory is crucial to the sub discipline. Theory is usually distinguishes research in medical sociology from socially oriented studies like public health and health services research. Sociological theory allows medical sociology to remain unique among the health-related social and behavioural sciences. Medical Sociology was intended to help solve a clinical problem, rather than develop theory.

Social determinants of health are the social and economic conditions and their distribution among the population that influence individual and group differences health status. Social determinants of health include social gradients, stress, early childhood development, social exclusion, unemployment, food insecurity, housing, availability of healthy food and disability. The social determinants in Canada and the USA are clearly well below the standards seen in other developed nations in terms of quality and equitable distribution. Medical Sociologists, Social Science Researchers, Social Workers, Sociologists plays major role in this aspect.

Pain motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future.

The race-conflict approach is a sociological perspective that looks at disparity and tension between people of different racial and ethnic groups. It's a way of viewing and studying people that focus on racial inequality and conflict. There is a lot of difference between whites and blacks in America. White Americans earn a high level of income, obtains advanced educational degrees, have better access to quality healthcare and live longer than American racial minorities. The injustices against black and minority groups are very high in some of the developed countries.

Ethnicity is often assumed to be the cultural unity of a group, often based on language and tradition. It is primarily an inherited status. There is a relationship between health of an individual and race and ethnicity. Health disparities are seen among different racial and ethnic groups. Health disparities, which include variations in life expectancy and prevalence of disease, due to the differences in health conditions across various ethnic populations that can be attributed to inequalities in living environment and access to healthcare may also play a role.

Track 18- Medical Sociology and Sick Role

Sick Role the role played by a person who has defined himself or herself as ill, with or without validation of the role by health care providers or family members. Adoption of the sick role changes the behavioral expectations of others toward sick persons. They are exempted from normal social responsibilities and not held responsible for the condition; they are obliged to “want to get well” and to seek competent medical help. The sick role also involves behavioral changes, including increased attention to the body and bodily functions, regression (increase in dependent behavior), narrowing of interests, and emotional overreactions.

Track 20- Medical Sociology and Health Economy

Economy and health are inseparably linked, and life expectancy at birth is a measure of the overall health of the nation. Life expectancy is high in well-developed countries where as low-income nations do not have the resources to maintain good health. People live in poor nations have less information and are less able to access to healthcare. A low-income nation mainly suffers from poor quality food, bad water and less medical personnel. Some modern life health issues are seen in high-income countries, like drug use, eating disorders and obesity. There are economic inequalities in health between the rich and poor even in the wealthiest countries. Medical Sociologists, Social Science Researchers, Social Workers, Sociologists are the key persons in healthcare industry.
