Abstract:
The claim that medical anthropology is failing medicine is wrong. Certain areas of medical anthropology contribute to theory, while others are intended to be of more clinical use. The problems that this latter category can encounter are rooted not within anthropology, but within medicine. For those practitioners that do choose to engage with anthropological ideas, it impacts in such a way that it cannot be readily proved within empirical data. This does not, however, mean it does not make significant and lasting contributions in the clinical setting.
