It’s here! The Summer 2016 edition of Streamline, Migrant Clinicians Network’s quarterly clinical publication on migrant health, made it to mailboxes all around the country! Didn’t get a copy? You can read it online here (and be sure to send your name and mailing address to contedu@migrantclinician.org if you would like to receive a paper copy of the free journal in the future). Here are some reasons to read up:

Reviewed by Migrant Clinicians: This issue was reviewed by members of our newly expanded Streamline External Editorial Board. We are very proud to have these six members join our editorial team to ensure that the articles that reach you are relevant, well presented, and thoroughly researched. The External Editorial Board members are frontline clinicians, advocates, and researchers with expertise in the health issues and environmental and occupational exposures experienced by mobile patients, agricultural workers, and other medically underserved populations. Rather than review the entire issue, our new Board members review the articles or sections that are relevant to their areas of expertise and interest. The Board may also suggest future content matter or contribute relevant content. We welcome our new Streamline External Editorial Board members! Read more about them on our Streamline External Editorial Board webpage. 

Provides Relevant Resources: A how-to on integrative medicine at low-income clinics? Check. Programs on microfiber cloths to reduce the risk of asthma? Check. Zika resources? Check.

Chronicles the Work of Hard-Working Clinicians: We continue to profile the hard work and interesting lives of our External Advisory Board members with a timely piece on Carmen Zorrilla, MD, on the lessons she’s learned serving pregnant women with HIV in Puerto Rico, and how she plans to apply that knowledge to the island’s current Zika epidemic.  

Offers Up New Models to Complicated Issues: Check out Oregon’s Expanded Practice Dental Hygienist program to see how hygienists are providing basic dental care to migrant farmworkers and other underserved populations. Read about how CHWs are inspiring positive lifestyle shifts for pre-diabetics and diabetics through community classes at One Community Health.
