Infectious Questions : An Infectious Diseases Public Health Podcast

This episode marks a shift in focus for our podcast, from a virus—Zika—to a population, namely, refugees. Refugee health remains a matter of concern to public health practitioners across Canada. Today, we’ll focus on their oral health, an aspect of wellbeing all too often overlooked. Our guest expert is Dr. Carlos Quiñonez, an Associate Professor of Dental Public Health at the University of Toronto. The Director of its Specialty Training Program, he’s a past president of the Canadian Association of Public Health Dentistry.
