Abstract

Medical schools are important nodes in the reproduction of medical knowledge, and an often-visited field site for medical anthropologists. To date, the spotlight has been on teachers, students and (simulated) patients. I broaden this focus to look at the practices of medical school secretaries, porters and other staff, investigating the embodied effects of their "invisible work." Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork in a Dutch medical school, I mobilize the more multisensory term "shadow work" to understand how such practices become part of medical students' future clinical practices through highlighting, isolating, and exaggerating, necessary elements of their medical education.

感知与阴影:荷兰医学教育中无形的工作。

医学院是医学知识再生产的重要节点，也是医学人类学家经常访问的现场。到目前为止，焦点一直集中在教师、学生和(模拟的)病人身上。我将这一关注点扩大到医学院秘书、搬运工和其他工作人员的实践，调查他们“无形工作”的具体影响。从荷兰一所医学院的人种学田野调查中，我调动了更多感官的术语“影子工作”，通过突出、孤立和夸大医学教育的必要要素，来理解这些实践如何成为医学生未来临床实践的一部分。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
