What fields are you actually interested in? Start there and see if you can relate your real field of interest to migration in any way. For example, if you are interested in OB or Peds ... focus on parenting practices of different cultures and/or what happens when people with cultural practices different from "mainstream American" enter the health system. If you are interested in hospice care ... do the same thing. etc.

What about immunization and immigrants/migration? A current hot topic with the Disneyland measles outbreak.
Check out this site.....WHO | Migrant health
Thank you guys for the help! My group decided on doing a research on students from US and students from the provinces migrating to the city (Manila). We wanna know if what were the lifestyle changes among the two groups (health, diet, self esteem, coping mechanism and etc. ) I, myself migrate from US to study here in manila, I'm a third year student right now. so since there are a lot of students from US studying in my school we thought that it would be easy for us to gather data. Please let me know what you think about the topic thank you for the replies :)
