Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of US Practitioners Who Provide Pre‐Travel Advice
ConclusionsMany PCP survey participants provided pre‐travel advice, but most saw few travelers. Volume of travelers and holding an ASTMH or ISTM certificate had the greatest influence on knowledge of travel medicine and provision of appropriate advice and recommendations. Creating easily accessible travel medicine education programs for US providers from a wide range of disciplines is needed to improve the management of travelers. (Source: Journal of Travel Medicine)

Illness and Injury to Students on a School Excursion to Peru
ConclusionsOn this school excursion, the health problems encountered were consistent with those reported for other specialized tours, including expeditions and premium tours, although altitude illness needs to be carefully planned for in tours to higher elevation destinations as in South America. As well as being part of the service provided to the school students, the inclusion of a physician with appropriate medical supplies for this tour increased the independence of the travel group. A proposed medical kit for such an excursion is presented. (Source: Journal of Travel Medicine)
