Call for Papers
There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the sociology of health professions education. From changes to the MCAT to cultural competency, there is a renewed focus on this classic area of sociology, using a range of exciting new theories and diverse methodologies. This mini-conference considers questions relevant to training, socialization, and education in the health professions in the 21st century.

We welcome submission on a range of health professions, including but not limited to:
  • pre-medical, undergraduate, and post-graduate education in medicine
  • nursing, nursing assistantship, and advanced practice nursing
  • physical and occupational therapy
  • Pharmacy
  • careworkers, medical assistants and technicians
    ​
Topics may include:
  • Diversity and discrimination
  • Status maintenance and hierarchies
  • Cultural and structural competency
  • Professional and emotional socialization or identity formation
  • Specialty choices
  • New technologies in education, such as simulation
  • Mentorship and pipeline processes
  • Teaching and learning empathy
  • Knowledge acquisition and uncertainty
  • Standardized testing and licensing procedures 

Our hope is to use this mini-conference to build on the growing momentum of interest, and bring together a wide range of scholars at different career stages and institution types (i.e., those in traditional sociology departments and those working in health professions schools).

Those wishing to present papers in this mini-conference should submit an abstract of no longer than 250 words by October 30, 2018 through the ESS submission portal at https://www.meetingsavvy.org/ess.
