Unique Ambulatory Experiences
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).
Specialty Clinics
- Residents work with community members and organizations to improve access to care for marginalized populations in partnership with local community-based organizations and patient navigators.
- Residents work with dedicated preceptors with expertise in immigration health and the health of justice-involved (recently incarcerated) people.
- Correctional Health: Transitions Clinic with the Fortune Society
- Immigration Health: OPEN IT clinic with African Services Committee
Skills Clinics
- These are dedicated skills-based clinical experiences at CHCC
