This summer, I am working for Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), an organization that uses medicine and science to document and advocate against human rights violations. I have been working with PHR's Asylum Program, which has a large network of volunteer health professionals who provide forensic evaluations to survivors of torture and ill-treatment seeking asylum in the United States. My work primarily involves helping the asylum team with case management, which consists of connecting attorneys and their clients with PHR-affiliated health professionals so that these pro-bono evaluations can take place.
