This course is designed to fill the need for more trained health professionals to provide forensic evaluations for torture survivors seeking humanitarian relief in the United States.
Each year thousands of survivors of torture and other forms of persecution seek asylum in the US. When they apply for asylum, they often have nothing more than their own words to substantiate their suffering. Some of the most compelling evidence available—physical and psychological sequelae of torture—will go unnoticed and unheeded.
Documentation of that evidence by a health professional trained to identify and document the sequelae of torture can make the difference between achieving safety in the US, or return to future persecution. Evidence shows that asylum cases supported by forensic documentation are almost three times more likely to result in a grant of asylum than cases without such documentation.
Learn how to perform physical and psychological evaluations for these asylum seekers. You have the power to make a profound and lasting difference in their lives.
