This is a how-to guide for teaching undergraduates and medical students to walk in patients’ shoes. A major technique the authors return to in each chapter is how students can learn to shadow patients as they navigate the medical system, with an emphasis on emergency room visits. One of the first chapters lays out the theoretical underpinnings of clinical applied anthropology, which combines the best of critical medical anthropology and applied anthropology. Wilson (Morsani College of Medicine, Univ. of South Florida) and Baer (anthropology, Univ. of South Florida) detail their students' research on challenging themes, including navigating emergency room visits, multi-visit patients, sickle cell disease, patients who end up in nontraditional spaces (e.g., hallways), opioid use, and firearm research. Each chapter presents the research methodology and major findings, explaining how the insights garnered from shadowing are shared with the medical community. Many of the major findings cover moving from a provider-centered to a patient-centered world view. The book includes many illustrations of educational materials, but many figures are illegible because the text and illustrations were reduced to a very small size. Overall, Clinical Anthropology 2.0 can serve as an excellent introduction to the world of medical anthropology. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
