The Yale Refugee Clinics are at the center of health services provided to refugees in New Haven. The clinics are housed in the Yale Primary Care Center (YPCC) at Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH).

Developing the skills and expertise necessary for the practice of outpatient medicine is an essential component of residency training in both internal medicine and pediatrics. There is also growing recognition that essential aspects of office practice, such as doctor-patient-family communication, evidence-based decision-making, preventive medicine, and office-based procedures, should be taught to residents in training. An extensive ambulatory curriculum has been developed to meet these needs, and is learned in a variety of venues and rotations.

The Center’s trained physicians perform a forensic medical interview and examination to document physical scars and functional impairments. These objective findings are presented to immigration authorities and judiciary members in the form of an affidavit and/or testimony.
