Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The specialty of travel medicine encompasses a broad and dynamic practice. A thorough pretravel consultation provides an individual with a comprehensive, evidence-based, contextual discussion of the risk profile for specific itinerary-based, travel-related illness and injury, allowing the traveler to use this information in conjunction with his or her personal health belief model, risk tolerance, and experience to decide on an informed management plan. This article focuses on the pretravel consultation with emphasis on the contribution of immunization to traveler's health. |
