✦ Synopsis

An epistemological and methodological debate has broken out between those who identify themselves as medical and health geographers. Lost within this debate has been the unprecedented explosion of research by medical and health geographers. Using this debate as a fulcrum, research in medical and health geography is reviewed, and opportunities where medical, health and population geographers might usefully collaborate are identi®ed. Ultimately, medical, health and population geographers need to work toward creating inclusive geographies.
