The second in a four-part series, this episode explores how primary care clinicians can tailor their offerings to improve access to Latino migrants with diabetes.
Having established that Latino migrants both have a higher incidence of diabetes and a greater vulnerability for diabetic complications in the previous podcast episode, we now explore how clinicians can successfully get these patients “in the door” for medical care – or, perhaps, how clinicians can work to move their “doors” to improve access. With a recent epidemiologic review concluding that this population seeks and receives health care less than other US citizens, how can primary care clinicians work to improve access?
