Asylum seekers face significant and unique healthcare challenges, requiring healthcare practitioners, specifically in primary care, to be trained to care for this patient population. However, there is limited understanding of medical students’ interest in and future ability to care for the population of asylum seekers in the United States. We aim to understand U.S. medical students’ interest, experience, and knowledge in providing care for asylum seekers to assess the need for change in the ways in which medical schools introduce asylum seeker care to learners. A 23-question survey was administered to U.S. medical students at four institutions with asylum programmes affiliated with Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) from June 2020 to March 2021, querying various aspects of providing care to asylum seekers. Of the approximately 2846 students who received the survey, 436 students (15%) completed it in its entirety. Most respondents desired training about caring for asylum seekers (91%). Over half (52%) rated their knowledge of asylum issues overall as ‘poor’ or ‘none’, and 73% thought their medical school’s curriculum on asylum seeker health needed improvement. Medical students at schools with affiliated asylum clinics desire to care for asylum seeker patients but feel unprepared to do so, highlighting an unmet need for formal asylum education in U.S. medical schools.
