Overview
Clinical Anthropology 2.0 presents a new approach to applied medical anthropology that engages with clinical spaces, healthcare systems, care delivery and patient experience, public health, as well as the education and training of physicians. In this book, Jason W. Wilson and Robert D. Baer highlight the key role that medical anthropologists can play on interdisciplinary care teams by improving patient experience and medical education. Included throughout are real life examples of this approach, such as the training of medical and anthropology students, creation of clinical pathways, improvement of patient experiences and communication, and design patient-informed interventions. This book includes contributions by Heather Henderson, Emily Holbrook, Kilian Kelly, Carlos Osorno-Cruz, and Seiichi Villalona.

Reviews
Clinical Anthropology 2.0: Improving Medical Education and Patient Experience is a significant contribution to the pedagogy of applied medical anthropology. The utility of anthropological theory and methods was foundational to the beginning of the discipline some 40 years ago, but it has been neglected since that time due to academic criticism. The case studies in this book – on relevant topics like non-lethal firearm injuries, sickle-cell crises, the opioid epidemic, and patient-provider communication about pain – are insightful and informative. -- Peter J. Brown, Emory University
