The Institute on Medicine as a Profession is affiliated with two research centers at Columbia University:
Center on Medicine as a Profession (CMAP)
CMAP was established in October 2003 at the Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons through a joint agreement by the Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP) and Columbia University. CMAP carries out IMAP's programmatic agenda, and David J. Rothman, Ph.D., serves as CMAP's Director.
Center for the Study of Society and Medicine (CSSM)
The Center for the Study of Society and Medicine is an interdisciplinary institution, examining the complex interactions between medicine and society. CMAP and CSSM share administrative staff and facilities. CSSM faculty use historical, sociological, literary, and philosophical methods to analyze clinical practices and biomedical research to broaden the training for health care professionals. Through an understanding of medicine in its full social and cultural context, CSSM works to inform patient care and public policy.
