Volunteer Forensic Physicians Program

Are you a physician looking for volunteer opportunities? HRI seeks volunteer physicians to complete forensic medical exams and then prepare brief reports summarizing their findings.

These forensic reports, which are submitted with our clients’ asylum claims, are vital to the legal process as they substantiate the physical evidence left from the torture our clients have endured. The average time commitment per client is 10 hours. Sample reports, as well as training materials, will be provided.

HRI’s Featured Forensic Physician, Dr. Mary Ellen Bluntzer:

“As a physician I cannot recall any work that has been more fulfilling than my work for HRI clients. It has broadened my medical expertise, used up every part of my life experience and personalized international news in a life changing way.”
