    INTRODUCTION

    Applied anthropology is when researchers usefully employ anthropological methods, perspectives, and theories to solve practical problems. The applied field of medical anthropology is a burgeoning one, as global health problems rise every year. BC offers a course in Cross-Cultural Medicine (ANTH& 235) which is taken by many health care majors since it provides critical background for 21stcentury medical care. One of the leaders in medical anthropology is Dr. Paul Farmer, who is renowned for his work across the globe through his Partners in Health (PIH) organization. For this assignment, you will explore the PIH website to see the enormous strides that one individual has made in the improvement of global health.
