Preparing Clinicians to Conduct Forensic Medical and Mental Health Evaluations for People Seeking Asylum
Though limited by small sample size and reliance on self-assessment, our results indicate that this novel curriculum helped prepare interdisciplinary trainees to conduct FMEs and improved their comfort with skills applicable to working with displaced populations. This elective could be replicated at other institutions because of the accessibility of the AMTI curriculum and use of virtual space for small groups and mentored FMEs.
