  • Travel Clinic Operations Guide Edition 5
    Travel Clinic Operations Guide Edition 5 www.travax.com © 2016 Shoreland, Inc. All rights reserved. Travel Clinic Operations Guide – page 2 INTRODUCTION The Travel Clinic Operations Guide provides an overview of the resources and travel-specific information useful to those starting and maintaining an international travel medicine clinic or administering travel-related vaccines within the context of a medical practice. Additional considerations may apply to travel medicine clinics in other care delivery settings such as pharmacies, workplaces, and public health departments. Non-physician prescription of vaccines or travel-related medication is increasingly common, but varies widely by state or province, and local regulations need to be clearly understood. Materials have been designed to help standardize delivery of service and reduce administrative workload. This guide focuses on aspects of clinic operations that are unique to the practice of travel medicine. Resources, policies and procedures, and other guidelines applicable to general medical clinics can be found in a multitude of other publications and will not be provided here. ESTABLISHING A TRAVEL HEALTH CLINIC THE BASICS Because the concept of travel medicine is often new to travelers, it is important to take into consideration the unique aspects of establishing a travel medicine clinic. Location: A highly visible location on a main floor or centralized location will generate interest, prompt inquiries, and encourage drop- ins. A location within a well-care setting is also desirable. Parking: Because many travel medicine clinics offer evening or weekend appointments for busy travelers, parking should be both easily accessible and safe. Naming: Clinic names and signs should clearly indicate the unique services offered, such as travel immunizations.

  • Medical Tourism
    Medical Tourism The term medical tourism refers to two distinct, both fairly recent, phenomena: (1) physicians and medical trainees from developed countries who travel to less developed countries to provide medical care, and (2) patients, generally from more developed countries, who travel to less developed countries seeking less expensive medical care or medical procedures (including transplantations) that are unavailable or illegal in their countries of origin. The first type of medical tourism cynically refers to those medical practitioners from Western countries who travel to developing countries for short periods of time to provide medical services, usually for free. While there are no strict criteria that distinguish medical tourists from medical or humanitarian aid workers, medical tourists often have little experience in developing world settings and often combine medical visits with recreational or cultural activities. Although medical tourists are often motivated by genuine altruism, they often overestimate the need for their assistance or the utility of their specific skill set to problems they encounter. Medical tourists may bring much needed medical supplies or expertise, but they may also inadvertently undermine local health-care infrastructure or provide inappropriate, incorrect, Medical Tourism refers to or even harmful medical care. patients who travel abroad for procedures that can cost much more in the United States. Medical trainees, both students and postgraduate residents are increasingly seeking formal or elective experiences internationally. Reasons for this include greater flexibility in medical programs, recognition of the value of international experiences, ease of travel, and résumé building. Many medical trainees are interested in developing their technical or improvisational skills in a more challenging setting, while others are interested in observing other medical systems, alternative and traditional therapies, or learning about cross-cultural issues in medicine.
