Description

Product Description In this time of large-scale global migration at levels unrivalled since World War II, primary care practitioners are providing the first line of care to economic migrants and refugees. In doing so, they face daily the considerable challenges that this heterogenic group brings in terms of communication, culture, and legal status as well as physical and mental health. This accessible book has been carefully crafted to enable primary health care professionals to develop the skills and competencies required to deliver appropriate services to this diverse group of patients and, in turn, to ensure equity in health care for all. The book satisfies the urgent need for a hands-on guide to support and help general practitioners and other members of the primary health care team improve their provision of care not only to immigrants, but to other vulnerable groups and the whole society. Review "This is an outstanding monograph on the medical and psychological considerations clinicians must keep in mind when caring for a person who has immigrated to a land with different customs and lifestyles. The book offers insights thatclinicians usually are not exposed to in their training programs. The book also is a tremendous asset for clinicians who participate in medical missions to developing areas, sensitizing them to the cultures they may not have experiencewith."Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP(Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) "The chapters are very well referenced, and despite the evident diversity of countries and health care systems presented here, readers can easily apply authors’ evidence-based suggestions and conclusions to local situations. University libraries supporting programs for health professionals, including not only future physicians and nurses but also social workers, would do well to acquire this book. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through graduate students and practitioners." --T. D. DeLapp, emerita, University of Alaska Anchorage, CHOICE Reviews About the Author Bernadette N.
