Training in Tropical Medicine and Travelers Health

In most developing countries, tropical diseases continue to cause enormous morbidity and mortality. These tropical public health problems stand as significant barriers to social and economic development and put visiting travelers at risk.

“Training in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health” is organized to develop student competencies relevant to practicing clinical medicine in the tropics and operating a travel clinic in the United States.

This course is a comprehensive lecture, seminar, laboratory, and case-based course presented by a faculty with substantial tropical medicine field experience. Graduates of the course receive a certificate of training in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health.

This course has been certified by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) as fulfilling the didactic requirements to sit for the Society’s qualifying examination for the Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health (CTropMed®)
