Abstract

Developing an integrated model of health care for refugees, asylees, immigrants, and special immigrant visa holders requires a multifaceted approach due to their unique and complex health care needs. This article provides an in-depth understanding of the components necessary to develop a model of care addressing the needs of immigrants and to share opportunities and challenges associated with these models. This includes highlighting population- and individual-level factors important to caring for immigrant populations, providing guidance on creating a model of care that addresses these factors, and describing established clinics that exemplify various models of care.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
