Get Involved

We are always looking for dedicated volunteers and collaborators who are passionate about human rights and asylum work.  We collaborate with a wide range of professionals, including physicians, psychologists, social workers, advanced practice providers, medical students, lawyers, law students, and not-for-profits, among others. If you would like to get involved or collaborate with our clinic, please contact us at wcchr@med.cornell.edu.

For student volunteers during evaluations, participation is open to all current Weill Cornell Medicine MD and PA students. 

WCCHR Fall Training 2026 (Date TBD)

September 19, 2026 - 8:00am

Please stay tuned for more details about WCCHR's upcoming training in Fall 2026!

Details will be updated soon. 

Note: We will be offering in-person training to those located on WCM's campus and in NYC. We prefer that volunteers attend in-person if possible as this promotes easier discussion, and lunch will be provided. For those located outside NYC, we will offer a Zoom option for the same training. If you are unable to make either, please email wcchr@med.cornell.edu and we will send a separate asynchronous training.

WCM students are also invited to attend this training. If you are a WCM student and unable to attend the in-person training, please email wcchr@med.cornell.edu
