Migrant Clinicians NetworkMigrant Clinicians Network (MCN) in partnership with NHMA, proposes opportunities to provide comprehensive virtual education to primary care providers that address knowledge gaps in the identification and treatment of COVID-19 among immigrant, refugee, migrant, and limited English proficient patients.
These populations represent a significant portion of the essential workforce including agriculture, food services, construction, and healthcare industries.
Our co-hosted webinars will provide clinicians with tools, information, and guidelines for migrant health in an outpatient setting in English and Spanish. All content will follow existing clinical guidelines as outlined by the CDC, NIH, and the FDA.
