These PDS ‘‘boundary spanners’’ have developed simultaneously within both the public school and university spaces allowing them to provide meaningful implications for PDS partnerships and for recruitment, development, and retention of teachers. Relevant Essentials of PDS: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 In this time of teacher shortages and attrition, it is challenging to recruit, develop, and retain strong, well-prepared teachers, particularly in middle schools, ESL, STEM, and special education (Clement, 2015; Owens, 2015; Strauss, 2015).

Given the unique health care needs and access barriers refugees face upon resettlement in the United States, we aimed to better understand refugees' perceptions of US health care as the first step to quality improvement initiatives. We used a qualitative approach by conducting 4 focus group interviews with refugees from Iraq, Eritrea, Somalia, and Bhutan. We identified 3 common themes: conflicting expectations, miscommunication, and varying levels of trust and satisfaction. Findings support in-person interpreters, cultural competency training, and integrated primary health care delivery models with stronger connections with resettlement agencies.

John Poon provides a case study of Afghan refugees trying to gain access to necessary health services, while José Quiroga, M.D., discusses the physical and mental health needs of torture victims. Several reports feature the important mental health issues facing newcomers as well as refugee-specific information about vaccinations and civil surgeons. Finally, this issue includes recent health-related updates and further resources on refugee health issues.
