2016 Physicians
for Human Rights Symposium: A Symposium on Refugee Health
The Geisel School of Medicine chapter of Physicians for Human Rights, the Nathan
Smith Society and the Dartmouth Coalition for Global Health present "A Place for the Displaced: Finding Home and Health for Refugees", a symposium on refugee health. The event aims is to generate a discussion on the current crisis abroad and unpack the legal,
logistical, and health-related implications of mass migration.
The symposium will begin with photojournalist James Nachtwey, followed by a screening
of "Salam Neighbor". The following day, talks and discussions featuring multiple speakers will examine health efforts in refugee camps , health for refugees in the U.S., sociological aspects of trauma and the legacies of war on survivors, and the process of
becoming a refugee or asylum seeker in the U.S. There will be opportunity for hands-on learning as we tackle a case study and work towards creating an environment that is both welcoming and empowering to refugees. For more details and the specific program

evening January 29th in Silsby 028/Hinman Forum (6:00 PM -9:15 PM), and Saturday, January 30th in Kemeny 008 and adjacent
rooms (8:30 AM-4:30 PM). Light refreshments will be provided Friday night. Breakfast and lunch will be served Saturday!
