As colonial governments assumed responsibility for health care, conceptions of the human body were translated into local languages and related to vernacular views of health, disease, and healing. The contributors to this volume chart and analyze the organization of western medical education in Southeast Asia, public health education in the region, and the response of practitioners of "traditional medicine".    "Translating the body" is a shorthand for the formulation of medical ideas, practices, and epistemologies in contexts that require both interpretation and transmission. The process is both linguistic and cultural, and in approaching medical education, the book follows recent work in translation studies that underscores the translation not merely of words but of cultures.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aMedicine: general issues2bicssc  aHealthcare  amedical education  apublic health education  aSoutheast Asia1 aPols, Hans4oth1 aThompson, C.
