From Medical Anthropology at a Medical School to Careers in Community-Based Applied Anthropology
This article discusses the origins and development of the MS Program in Medical Anthropology in the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. We review how our faculty identified the need for the program as well as how we developed its design and negotiated the degree curriculum and requirements. We trace the evolution of our Service-Learning Internship Program (SLIP) and its establishment at various facilitie…
Asian Immigrant Parents' Role Enactment While Accessing and Using Services for Their Child With Developmental Disabilities in the United States
We conducted a meta-synthesis to explore how Asian immigrant parents in the United States enact their perceived parental role while using health and educational services for their child with developmental disabilities. We identified 11 qualitative studies for analysis, and examined these studies using a constant comparative approach and thematic analysis informed by role theory and acculturation theory. Based on our analysis, five themes related …
Self-Awareness and Cultural Identity as an Effort to Reduce Bias in Medicine
Looking Islam in the Teeth
The Arabicmiswak(Somali,adayge) is a tooth-cleaning stick from the Salvadora persica plant. In this article, we trace the social life of a "thing," examining meanings inscribed in the stick brush, drawing on interviews with 82 Somali refugees in Massachusetts and an analysis of local and transnational science and marketing. The miswak toothbrush symbolizes relationships to nature, homeland culture, global Islam, globalizing dental medicine, and t…
Practitioner Decisions to Engage in Chinese Medicine

Another kind of decision making occurs when individuals choose to engage in the practice of a therapeutic modality. This article draws on fieldwork and interview data with non-Chinese and immigrant Chinese practitioners of Chinese medicine in the United States, focusing on Boston, Massachusetts, and New York City, as case illu…

American Acupuncture and Efficacy
By its very definition, efficacy's meanings remain fluid, their particularities contingent on context. The change seen as significant may occur on a symbolic level or through the removal of physical symptoms. It may address conditions of a social body. Some discussions differentiate between "healing" and "curing." Many of these meanings surface when examining what efficacy means in the practice of acupuncture in the United States. This complex ph…
The acupuncture wars
Since the 1970s acupuncturists in the United States have confronted the dilemma of how to define themselves not only as practitioners in relation to an evolving Americanized version of Chinese medicine but also with respect to definitions of biomedical professional identity, which are currently in flux. The central issue is that of professionalization. This study traces the process of professionalization through the initial reception of the modal…
