This course will be a longitudinal experience examining the relationship between law, medicine, health disparities, professional duties, and the law of immigration. By critically examining the current laws and policies regarding immigration and asylum seekers, students will learn about the experiences of individuals crossing international borders. After gaining an understanding of the current issues facing patients and families who are engaged in transnational immigration, medical students will be able to participate in a free legal clinic in the Southwest Michigan area that provides a wide array of immigration, citizenship, other and services. Students will be able to provide meaningful community service through this experience, but also gain a better understanding of the psycho-socio-cultural-legal influences on patient health and the healthcare system.
