Clinician Resource


This Heat-Related Illness Clinician's Guide, available in English and Spanish, is a 12-page full-color guide to the many overlapping risks that outdoor workers like farmworkers may encounter, that increase their risk of heat-related illnesses. It covers the many overlapping factors that may increase a worker's risk for HRI, including the basic environmental, metabolic, and physical factors as well as social, occupational, behavioral conditions and more that amplify heat stress by worsening heat storage or impairing heat dissipation across those three factors. This updated version also features a new tear-out one-pager to share directly with outdoor workers on the symptoms of various heat-related illnesses and what to do if a coworker experiences one. There is a special section on chronic kidney disease of nontraditional origin, as well as an updated table with recommended questions for patients and an extensive list of new tools and resources. This guide, updated in 2026, was created by Migrant Clinicians Network and Farmworker Justice.

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:
