Welcome from the Chairman of the Faculty

Welcome to the home pages of the Faculty of Travel Medicine (FTM).

The FTM was established in 2000 as the first faculty of travel Medicine globally. The faculty continues to grow and is actively seeking a larger membership base. These pages outline the aims of the FTM as well as giving an overview of membership. We recently entered into a Joint Faculty arrangement with the recently established Faculty of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine and established a Special Interest Group to link the Travel Health Advisory Group (THAG) to the Faculty’s activities. THAG has a useful website aimed at travellers. See link above or http://www.welltogo.org.au

Our regular newsletter "Travel Medicine Briefcase" needs your input and we welcome any submissions of relevant articles for print. These can be submitted to actm@tropmed.org
