  • Identify basic pre-travel evaluation to help identify risk factors based on geographical areas traveling patients are visiting.
  • Analyze management and prevention of potential infections traveling patients may be exposed to overseas.
  • Evaluate treatment and prophylactic options for common traveler’s infections.
