What happens during a visit?

During your visit, our travel medicine specialist will carefully review your itinerary, medical and vaccination history, and go over country-specific risks, recommendations, and regulations with you. Our goal is to provide you with up-to-date information and recommendations that will help prepare you for a safe and healthy trip and return.  

The CDC recommends that you schedule a pre-travel appointment, ideally 4-6 weeks before your trip. However, it is never too late to receive pre-travel care if you are leaving sooner.
