Through collaboration with Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and the Columbia Law School, the Human Rights Initiative (HRI) links volunteer physicians (including fellows), psychologists, and licensed clinical social workers to individuals seeking asylum in the United States. Asylum seekers seen in the clinic have included individuals fleeing persecution due to LGBTQIA+ status, domestic abuse, torture, and other forms of discrimination. No experience is necessary, and please click here to find out more about our training opportunities.
