Opportunities in Travel Medicine

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

We are starting a new city-wide international pathway for residents.  There are 5 residency programs currently involved (pediatrics, medicine, and pediatrics/medicine) with over 300 residents in the 5 programs. Within a few years we hope to initiate a course accredited by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

We have clinical sites both internationally and locally. Locally, two travel clinics are participating as well as a Somali clinic, TB clinic, HIV clinics, Center for International Health Clinic, the Center for Victims of Torture and others. We would be willing to consider having residents or staff from other programs visit and/or do electives at our facilities. For more information, visit our new web site at www.medpeds.umn.edu/travel, go under International Resident pathway and click on Introduction.

There are also over 30 lectures and 30 cases on the web site.

I will be retiring from the U.S. Army next summer.  My career has allowed me to do a great deal of travel medicine both from the military deployment and civilian travel perspectives.  I am interested in transitioning these skills to the civilian community, preferably in Europe for a few (5-10) years.  I would like to determine if there are opportunities for such employment. Curriculum vitae available.

I would like to recruit a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistance to work with me at the Fresno International Travel Medical Center. We have been selected as a new, in developement, GeoSentinel site. Fresno is a culturally diverse agricultural community in the center of California. We will take advantage of that fact in recruiting information on returning travelers and immigrants to feed into the GeoSentinel databank. The ideal candidate has a passion for travel as well as a background in internal medicine, cardiology and travel medicine/infectious diseases. Most important is a willingness to learn and assist in the care of a busy private internal medicine practice.
