About the SMA

The Society for Medical Anthropology is the world's largest association of professional and practicing medical anthropologists. One of the largest sections of the American Anthropological Association, we serve medical anthropology graduate students, practicing anthropologists, scholars, and scholar activists who address issues of local, national and international health importance. It is the hub of an active research community and a storehouse for information supporting the endeavors of medical anthropologists and their colleagues in allied social science fields.
