Description What sets Medical Education and Sociology of Medical Habitus: "It's not about the Stethoscope!" apart from other works in this area is that it opens out the field of research in sociology and inserts junior medical doctor culture right into medical sociology and professional medical education.

Publisher Description

Dr Haida Luke uses a medical-sociological framework to help us understand how young doctors fresh out of medical school enter the medical culture as junior doctors and begin the rapid professional education and intense enculturation processes. The text aims to "open out" the field of research into sociology and insert junior medical doctor culture right into medical sociology and professional medical education. Central to this analysis are Dr Haida Luke's innovative use of Pierre Bourdieu's sociological framework and the concept of "habitus". The volume challenges many of the myths of the medical cultural experiences and socializing forces that are an integral part of early medical training.
