    AbstractThe domestic medical examination of newly arrived refugees is a comprehensive medical visit. It includes a review of the overseas medical examination and a thorough medical and immigration history. It should include laboratory testing for infectious diseases, pregnancy, and other conditions as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and resettlement state, as well as a comprehensive physical examination with attention paid to conditions known to specific refugee groups. It should also include vaccinations for age-appropriate vaccine-preventable diseases. The concept of preventive care should be introduced, and future visits should be scheduled for preventive care.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
