Human Rights Clinic
The Human Rights Clinic (HRC), established in 1993, is a collaboration between PCSM, CHCC and the global health organization Physicians for Human Rights. HRC has several goals: to bear witness to and acknowledge the experiences of immigrant survivors of abuse and torture, to train residents to assess the physical and psychological sequelae of torture and abuse, to write affidavits included in applications for immigration relief, and to link applicants to services (medical, mental health, social, among others).
