Asylum Collaborative @ Stanford

A student-faculty run group whose goal is to provide comprehensive medical and psychological evaluations to asylum-seekers across the Bay Area.

The Asylum Collaborative was founded at Stanford Medical School to provide free forensic psychological and medical evaluations for asylum seekers in the United States. Our organization consists of six committees that address different aspects of the evaluation process: Advocacy, Community Outreach, Community Resources, Operations, Training, and Quality Improvement. Current projects include partnering with Stanford Law School's Immigrant Rights Clinic for a training workshop, expanding support through faculty recruitment and outreach, and developing a website to centralize resources for asylum seekers in the Bay Area.


Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
