What Is Travel Medicine?
Travel medicine is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on the needs of travelers, particularly those who travel to other countries.
Generally, physicians and others who specialize in travel medicine are experts in infectious diseases. But, their expertise also often includes:
- knowledge of specific geographical locations
- information about health conditions and disease outbreaks in different countries
- requirements of other countries for vaccinations and health reports
- availability of medications and other healthcare treatments for diseases and disorders around the world
- information on the political situations in other countries

The site cannot replace having a personal relationship with a physician who is knowledgeable about the needs of people who travel abroad.
