Dr. Marcia Inhorn, Yale University, will convene an international and interdisciplinary conference on medical anthropology. Medical anthropology is a subfield of anthropology that employs social, cultural, biological, and linguistic anthropological methods and theory. Medical anthropologists study how interrelationships between humans and other species, cultural norms and social institutions, and micro and macro politics and economics at multiple scales interact with the health of individuals, larger social formations, and the environment. The field is now just fifty years old. The overarching agenda of this conference is to consider what medical anthropology has contributed to basic scientific research and to create new research agendas and collaborations for the future. The four day conference will be anchored by thirteen plenary speakers who will highlight the potential for future research in the most significant research areas. The speakers will report on the social science of health research from a variety of perspetives, including inequality, science and technology, genomics, bioethics, and the science of public policy. The conference also will provide a forum for the dissemination of new findings and the development of international collaborations through research working group sessions. A special student poster session will provide an opportunity for senior medical anthropologists to offer constructive feedback to the next generation of scientists. This conference is important because the last half-century of research has shown that across the globe, social and cultural institutions, not just medical practice, have significant influence in human and community health. This conference will bring together the very best researchers in this area to move the field forward at a time of critical need.

耶鲁大学玛西娅·伊恩霍恩（Marcia Inhorn）博士将召集一次国际医学人类学跨学科会议。医学人类学是采用社会，文化，生物学和语言人类学方法和理论的人类学的子领域。医学人类学家研究人类与其他物种，文化规范和社会机构之间的相互关系如何以及多种规模上的微观和宏观政治和经济学与个人的健康，更大的社会形态和环境相互作用。该领域现在只有五十年。这次会议的总体议程是考虑医学人类学对基础科学研究的贡献，并为未来创建新的研究议程和合作。为期四天的会议将由13名全体会议者锚定，他们将强调在最重要的研究领域进行未来研究的潜力。演讲者将从各种观点，包括不平等，科学和技术，基因组学，生物伦理学和公共政策科学的社会科学报道健康研究的社会科学。会议还将为通过研究工作组会议传播新发现以及国际合作的发展提供论坛。 一个特别的学生海报会议将为高级医学人类学家提供机会，向下一代科学家提供建设性的反馈。 这次会议很重要，因为过去半个世纪的研究表明，在全球，社会和文化机构，不仅是医学实践，对人类和社区健康都有重大影响。这次会议将汇集该领域最好的研究人员，以在迫切需要的时候推动该领域的前进。
