MCN's Pesticide Clinical Guidelines and Pesticide Exposure Assessment Form assist in the recognition and management of acute pesticide exposures in primary care settings.

The pesticide guidelines were adapted from guidelines developed by Dr. Dennis H. Penzell, a former medical director of a Community and Migrant Health Center with experience in large-scale pesticide exposure incidents.

The Acute Pesticide Exposure Form was adapted from the data collection on an acute pesticide exposed patient tool developed by Matthew C. Keifer, MD, MPH, Director of the National Farm Medicine Center, appearing in the EPA's Recognition and Management of Pesticide Exposures, 6th Edition, EPA 2013.

These resources were developed with guidance from MCN's Environmental and Occupational Health Advisory Committee - a panel of healthcare professionals and researchers with expertise in pesticides and migrant health.

The United States health care system is full of unfamiliar forms, acronyms, unexpected costs, and language barriers that make even basic care difficult to access. Responding to that need, Migrant Clinicians Network created "Those Who Seek, Find" ("El que busca, encuentra"), the first bilingual comic book in the United States created to explain—in a visual, practical, and accessible format—how to navigate the health care system and what options exist before resorting to an emergency room. This comic book is available for download at no cost in English or in Spanish. See below for links. We also offer video/audio and audio versions in Spanish on YouTube and Spotify:
