Our trainings are currently being held on a virtual platform. See the link above for presentations from our past session. Contact us or sign up for our Speaker Series Listserv for the next live training session.
We will be hosting a medical student training on October 30th, 2019. At this event, we will introduce medical students in Philadelphia to the process of seeking asylum, and the important role that medical affidavits serve in documenting evidence of persecution.
Upon completing this training, students will be eligible to volunteer with our clinic. As volunteer scribes, medical students take notes during forensic evaluations and then write a first draft of the affidavit. The evaluating clinician will then edit and finalize the draft in a final version that will serve as evidence in immigration court.
On Saturday, September 21st, we hosted our 5th annual asylum evaluation training for physicians and psychologists. This day-long seminar taught clinicians how to evaluate and document evidence of persecution, and how to write an asylum affidavit for immigration court.
Graduates of our training join the Physicians for Human Rights’ Asylum Network, and are eligible for free CME credit.
There is no fee to attend, but we do ask that you register in advance.
Please contact us at phrc.operations@gmail.com if you have any questions about clinician training, or if you’ve been trained elsewhere and would like to volunteer with our clinic. Thank you to all who attended!
We are excited to partner with refugee and immigrant service organizations in the Philadelphia area. If you would like to partner with us or showcase your organization’s work at our monthly speaker series, please contact us.
