How has COVID care evolved in underfunded communities at the US-Mexican border and what can we learn from it?

Hundreds of clinicians across the country have been listening to MCN’s new podcast series!

In today’s episode, ‘COVID Testing, Treatment, and Management at the US-Mexico Border: Lessons Learned and National Impacts’, Dr. Roberto Johansson, MD, PhD, FAAP, General and Critical Care Pediatrician at Salud de Familiar La Fe in El Paso, Texas, and episode host, MCN’s Chief Program Officer of International and Emerging Issues, Deliana Garcia, will discuss what has changed with COVID testing, treatment, and management in border communities, and the national impacts it has had.

Clinicians will learn about the current challenges of care in binational settings, the role stigma and discrimination have played in addressing COVID in unique border communities, and important issues for the future of COVID and other infectious diseases.

This is one of several episodes exploring the long-term impacts of COVID in the ‘COVID’s Lasting Impact: Caring for Immigrant, Migrant and Asylee Patients’ podcast miniseries.
