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).
