On campus, students in Medical Anthropology have access to a wide range of courses, library facilities, and research settings. The University libraries are exceptionally rich in the areas of medicine and the biological and physical sciences, but also include holdings in the social sciences, policy sciences, psychology and history. The library's collection in the History of Health Sciences is particularly well known for its Asian holdings. Also located on campus is the library of the Langley Porter Institute, housing special collections in the areas of psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and the behavioral sciences. A number of special research centers on campus, too, may hold particular interest for medical anthropologists.
Students also have access to a large, university-wide computer center.
As students in the joint UCSF-UCB Program, those registered on the San Francisco Campus have access to the full range of resources and facilities on the Berkeley Campus as well. The Department of Anthropology at UCB is large, and offers a wide variety of courses in all anthropological fields. Courses offered by the Schools of Public Health, Social Welfare, Law, and Education are also open to medical anthropology students. The University libraries are exceptional. This extensive combination of facilities available on the two campuses provides a unique setting for the graduate training of medical anthropologists.
