Special Interest Groups: home
The Society for Medical Anthropology supports several committees and caucuses which address the unique interests and needs of our membership. These Special Interest Groups offer linkages to scholars with shared concerns and sponsor informational newsletters, award competitions and projects. The current interest groups are listed below.
If you belong to a group for which there is no information, please submit information to the webmaster, or, alternatively, create your own website and request a link from the SMA site.
