Comment faire de l'anthropologie médicale? is a French-language guide authored by Byron J. Good, a prominent figure in medical anthropology. First published in 1999 by Les Empêcheurs de penser en rond, the book offers a practical introduction to theory, method, ethics, and fieldwork involved in studying health, illness, healing, and wellbeing across cultures.

The volume combines theoretical discussion with concrete examples, making it useful for students and researchers, and also for practitioners working in clinical or public‑health settings. Though originally written in French, its insights have influenced medical anthropology curricula worldwide.
