Where can I study Medical Anthropology in Germany?
Unfortunately there is no institute in Germany where Medical Anthropology can be studied as a major subject.
The South Asia Institute in Heidelberg (Prof. Sax) offers studies in Medical Anthropology, although with a regional focus: http://www.sai.uni-heidelberg.de/ethno/mahassa/
The Institute for Social Anthropology at the Freie Universität Berlin offers the possibility to specialize in medical anthropology within the framework of its master program in social and cultural anthropology (Prof. U. Luig, Prof. H. Dilger, Angelika Wolf): http://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/ethnologie/studium/master_ska/index.html
Medical Anthropology seminars are also offered frequently at the following institutes:

Where do I find literature about Medical Anthropology?
A list of introductory literature and important journals can be found here. It is also recommended to view the bibliographies of the work group’s members.
The German Central Library for Medicine also contains some valuable resources:

A list of other groups can be found here.
How can I receive information regularly?
By becoming a member.
A member has the advantage of receiving related job offers, information about recent research and conferences, reduced prices for publications by the work group, and of course a voice in decisions about topics of discussions, workshops and conferences.
