Happy Friday to you! We’ve got the top five recommended reads from Migrant Clinicians Network staff, to send you off happily into your weekend.
- Karen, Chief Executive Officer, enjoyed Texas Monthly’s interview of Clay Johnson, MD [2], the Dean of UT-Austin’s brand-new Dell Medical School. The wide-ranging interview touches on disparities in health access in Austin: “How do we produce the models that value the impact that one can have in that population as much as in an insured population? To us, fundamentally, that is a much more important problem and one that we are trying to position ourselves to address.”
- Candace, Specialist in Clinical Systems and Women’s Health, shared Merritt Hawkins 2016 FQHC Pro Bono Physician Search Application [3]: “Through our Pro Bono Physician Search initiative, Merritt Hawkins provides a full service physician recruitment program to an understaffed FQHC, waiving our customary retainer and fees.”
- Theressa, Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator, recommends this new resource: 1999–2013 Cancer Incidence and Mortality Data [4].
- Leslie, Health Network Associate, suggests this 2015 report on whether Austin is really “family-friendly,” [5] from Mama Sana/Vibrant Woman, an organization that recently joined forces with Leslie to come out to the Ventanilla de Salud monthly health fair at the Mexican Consulate in Austin, TX.
- Claire, Writer and Editor, noticed MCN’s mention in this article on Ventanilla de Salud and MCN’s new partnership [6] with the American Cancer Society aiming to reduce cancer among Mexican nationals living in the US.
Have a safe and healthy weekend!
