Medical student education in refugee health and the concept of a medical home.

When refugees resettle in the United States, their health burdens are many and often unusual, their stories are unique and compelling and their access to health care difficult. The evolution of the Hasbro Hospital Refugee Health Clinic has not only addressed refugee health, but has provided an opportunity for medical student education. In the Refugee Health Clinic, medical students can combine their medical knowledge and clinical skills, while putting advocacy at center stage.
