RESPIRATORY HEALTH IN MIGRANT
POPULATIONS
1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 2009/2011 (West Building, Level 2)
Target Audience
Physicians (pulmonologists, critical care providers, and sleep medicine
doctors), nurses, and other health care providers as well as trainees
(residents and fellows) interested in learning about the clinical problems
inherent in migrant populations, in educating others about how to care for
these patients, and in how to engage in research.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• summarize the challenges inherent in the delivery of care to migrants;
• discuss the social, political, and economic circumstances that prevent
optimal delivery of care to migrants;
• propose innovated approaches to this issue targeting specific needs of
distinct populations.
The crisis in the Middle East has raised awareness about the challenges
encountered by migrant populations; in particular, health care access and
delivery. Similar challenges are encountered by migrant populations all around
the world including those entering the U.S. as refugees and/or survivors of
torture as well as Mexicans and other Latin Americans crossing the border.
Migrants suffer from medical conditions typical of other populations (e.g.,
asthma, tobacco-related disease, sleep disorders) and conditions relevant to the
nature of their situation including infection (e.g., tuberculosis) and malnutrition.
This session will discuss emerging problems related to health care access and
delivery in migrant populations.
