As the United States approaches Election Day, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) hosted a discussion on Friday, October 23 on how to prepare, from a human rights and medical perspective, to respond to a range of potential election-related violence.

Dr. Leaning is associate professor of emergency medicine at the Harvard Medical School, former director and now a senior fellow at the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University, and a member of PHR’s advisory council.
