Refugee families often report discomfort with navigating the United States health care system, while medical trainees feel unprepared to meet the needs of refugee families. Pediatric residents partnered with a local refugee resettlement organization to create and deliver a user-friendly health care navigation curriculum to newly arrived refugee families. Pediatric residents completed pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys to assess their comfort and interest in working with refugee populations. Residents reported high interest in working with refugees despite little direct experience working with this population. There was a significant increase in residents' reported understanding of refugee health as a result of this intervention. Future research is needed to assess the efficacy of such curricula for both refugee families and pediatric residents.
