Overseas Medical Screening
|
In accordance with U.S. law (Immigration and Nationality Act and the Public Health Service Act) and Department of Health and Human Services regulations, a medical examination is required for all refugees accepted to resettle in the U.S. as defined by public health regulation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is responsible for providing the technical instructions for the examination. The medical examination is conducted by panel physicians appointed by the U.S. consul or, in the case of large refugee movements, the International Organization of Migration (IOM).

Colorado Refugee Medical Screening Sites
