Standard Occupational Classification (SOC): Sociologists

Sociologists in healthcare study the social, cultural, and behavioral factors that influence health and illness, as well as the ways in which healthcare services are organized, delivered, and received. They use a variety of research methods, such as surveys, interviews, and observational studies, to gather data and draw insights on topics such as health disparities, patient experiences, and the impact of healthcare policies and programs. In a healthcare setting, sociologists may work in research and development, quality improvement, or program evaluation, collaborating with healthcare professionals and other stakeholders to develop and implement evidence-based solutions to improve health outcomes. They may also teach and mentor students in healthcare-related programs and publish their research in academic journals. To become a sociologist in healthcare, individuals typically need a PhD in sociology or a related field, although some positions may be available to those with a master’s degree. Strong analytical and research skills, as well as knowledge of healthcare policies and regulations, are important for success in this field.
