In fifteen month's experience as Director of a geriatrics community mental health unit I have seen my anthropologist role changing from teacher and researcher to applied clinical anthropologist/gerontologist, from non-judgemental objective scientist to objective decision maker and modifier of human behavior. This article details some of the advantages and disadvantages of a Ph.D. in anthropology for such a clinical position. While particular applications of anthropological methods and theories can facilitate the management of culturally appropriate health care delivery to a geriatric population, other areas of training not usually taught to anthropologists could be of value in a medically responsible clinical position.
