Reading Report of Organ Detective

Required course readings serve several functions. The articles and course text offer case studies that allow students to build a meaningful understanding of Medical Anthropology. We may not agree with all the contents of the readings, but they will serve as a basis of class discussion to build our conceptual understandings and practical applications about the field of Medical Anthropology. Also, the readings allow us to gain a culturally relativistic perspective!! Thus, thee goal of a Reading Report is to summarize ONE article that you have read and to expand upon what you have learned.
