Abstract

The United States is home to many immigrants and refugees; therefore, pediatricians who care for these vulnerable patients must be familiar with their unique medical, developmental, and psychosocial needs.Thankfully, there are resources that describe the recommended components of themedical visit for newly arrived immigrants and refugees.In this article,we review these resources while focusing on the resettlement process, mental health, trauma-informed care resources, and other important psychosocial needs such as legal and educational re-sources that are available for this patient population. © SLACK Incorporated.
