Kevin Pottie MD MClSc is a full professor in the Departments of Family Medicine and Epidemiology and Community Medicine, University of Ottawa. Dr. Pottie leads a highly productive research program that revolves around three axes: refugee health, health equity implementation and guideline methods. His high impact reviews and guidelines have transformed the clinical approach to refugee care, identifying HIV and Hepatitis C in refugees, eliminating burdensome routine stool testing for intestinal parasites and bringing medical interpretation and trauma centred care to the forefront of PTSD. His research has inspired refugee guidelines in Ireland (2015), Australia (2018), USA (2020) and DYNAMED sections. During the European refugee health crisis he led the EU/EEA (European) Migrant health guidelines (ECDC, 2018). The impact of this research is a global movement of evidence based and equity focused care for vulnerable migrants that has inspired international networks in North America and Europe. The guidelines have had a dramatic impact on the consistency of screening, reduced harmful screening, and provided a unique pathway for students and interdisciplinary care. His research is internationally recognized and he was appointed to the Global Society of Refugee Health. His previous interdisciplinary research (2009) integrated pharmacists into primary care practices and developed a series of clinical guidelines for deprescribing (2019).
