The Center of Excellence for Immigrant Child Health and Wellbeing is working with residents from both campuses to develop a comprehensive immigrant health curriculum. We are fortunate to have two large residency program that train over 120 pediatric residents. Our residents are working together to develop a curriculum that spans the three years of their training.
Focus of the curriculum will include topics such as:
- New immigrant clinical exams
- Unique challenges providing care to immigrant patients
- Mental health issues
- Exploring community-based organizations supporting immigrant families
- Legal issues specific to our immigrant population
