- Lead an asylum ective for medical students at UCSF
- Host yearly training programs for physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers, health professional students, attorneys, and interpreters.
- Mentor a cohort of individuals in family medicine, psychiatry and pediatrics to conduct asylum evaluations.
