TM5512 (Travel Medicine) may be taken as a corequisite.

Students undertake clinical practice in travel medicine in their various capacities as a health professional and in a range of possible practical situations. This time is structured by coursework which allows students to gain "hands on" practical application of knowledge under clinical and academic mentorship. It provides an opportunity to review core knowledge in travel medicine in the clinical context, in addition to the development of skills and knowledge in the area of vaccination for travel, malaria prophylaxis, health promotion, health education and management of the returned traveller. Students also gain experience in the use of computerised databases and other reference systems in their practice. It also allows students to appreciate the organisation and management needed for delivery of travel medicine and to reflect on the economics, ethics and politics driving clinical travel medicine.
