- Title
Lessons from Asylum Seekers: How Forensic Medical Evaluations Can Teach Us Things We Didn't Learn in Medical School.
- Authors
McKenzie, Katherine C.; Emery, Eleanor Hope
- Abstract
While these issues may not be the typical domain of a physician, it is clear that pervasive violations of these rights are impacting the health and wellbeing of our patients, and most notably our immigrant patients. As physicians working in a time of record forced global displacement, we must reflect on the inalienable rights to which every human being is entitled, regardless of nationality or borders. And perhaps most importantly, this work serves as an acknowledgment of human rights as essential determinants of health and wellness, and therefore reminds us of our responsibility as physicians to defend these rights.
