Our physicians provide forensic physical, psychiatric/psychological, and gynecologic examinations. 

I am an attorney representing a client seeking asylum. Can PHRC provide medical services to my client? 

No. PHRC provides forensic medical evaluations, which are strictly intended to furnish evidence of physical or psychologic harm for legal proceedings. Our providers do not provide medical services for clients.

If your client is in need of medical care, we may be able to refer them to low-cost clinical resources in Philadelphia.

We host an annual training for medical providers. Please visit the "Annual Training" tab to learn about the upcoming date(s). Attendance of the event and completion of a post-training survey is required to volunteer with PHRC.

Alternatively, healthcare providers who have previously completed training with another organization can send their training certificate to phrc.operations@gmail.com to be added to our volunteer list. 

Healthcare providers may also complete the Asylum Medicine Training Initiative online modules. Please send proof of completion of the AMTI modules to phrc.operations@gmail.com to be added to our volunteer list.
