Columbia University P&S Asylum Clinic

Founded in 2010, The Clinic is composed of psychiatric, medical, and gynecological physicians, clinical social workers, and psychologists who have received training in identifying the physical and mental sequelae of abuse and torture. After an evaluation, the physician will compose an affidavit outlining any symptoms and signs that are relevant to the client’s narrative. By providing independent medical examinations, the Clinic provides valuable evidence as part of an asylum applicant’s legal case.
