Mosaic Primary Care Network and Jason Shenher

Calgary: So, its staff members are making an offer, asking their colleagues in Calgary to add Syrian patients to their practices, and in return promising to share their expertise on refugee health, according to Globe and Mail. This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone We don’t have the capacity, but we have the knowledge, said Jason Shenher, executive director of Mosaic Primary Care Network, which runs the clinic. In the coming months, as many as 2,500 Syrians are expected to arrive in Calgary, a wave of new patients that would swamp Mosaic resources. We need to draw on others to help us out. New clinical guidelines specific to Syrian refugees will be published next week, webcasts and seminars are being planned, and networks are forming in major cities to organize care. The first planes carrying Syrians are expected to touch down as early as next week; before they do, doctors and other front-line medical staff are scrambling to make sure they have access to care and those who see them have the knowledge they need.
