What career prospects are there in medical anthropology?

Question

what kind of salary do medical anthropologists earn and can it be/is it a secure profession?..is there a demand as such, for medical anthropologists?

Answer 1

I second that answer; NGOs would be the way to go (or governmental health agencies like she said).

Grad school - Master's is ok, PhD is better.

Answer 2

If you can get a position with the National Institute of Health or the World Health Organization, you can do quite well for yourself.  There are jobs out there; you just have to sell yourself.  I have a friend who has a master's in medical anthropology; she works for the Public Health Department.
