Remote Evaluation Network — The Mount Sinai Human Rights Program

Dear Remote Evaluation Network Colleagues,

The Mount Sinai Human Rights Program is currently seeking licensed volunteer physicians, psychologists, nurse practitioners, and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs/ LICSWs) to address the growing number of pro bono evaluation requests that the program receives.

In particular, there is a shortage of licensed mental health professionals available to complete these essential evaluations for asylum seekers outside of New York City in areas of the country where there is a paucity of existing human rights programs. The documentation of evidence provided by trained clinicians through an examination, medical affidavit, and oral testimony is often the difference between an individual being granted asylum and relief from deportation or being forced to return to persecution in their home countries. Health providers are uniquely positioned to work at this intersection of health, human rights, and social justice, and to make an impact on the lives of those who have faced egregious human rights abuses.

Within our Remote Evaluation Network, our program is committed to providing the mentorship necessary to assist licensed clinical professionals, both from within the Mount Sinai system as well as those at other institutions, in developing the skills necessary to become both confident and competent in their ability to provide remote trauma-informed and culturally-responsive documentation of psychological torture and ill treatment.

Sincerely,

The Mount Sinai Human Rights Program - Clinic Management and Recruitment Teams
