In this episode, Amelia and Kirk speak with Lynette Martins who is co-leader of the ASBH immigration affinity group with Dr. Brian Tuohy and a recent graduate from Georgetown Law’s O’Neill Institute in national and global health law.

MLP’s provide collaborative spaces for interdisciplinary dialogue, enhancing individual patient care while also helping healthcare institutions address recurrent issues that may be impacting specific patient populations.
