ISTM Publications and Educational Handouts
There are two main publications of the ISTM, each serving different purposes. The Journal of Travel Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal with up-to-date information on prevention and self-treatment of disease, immunizations, clinic management and patient and staff education. NewsShare is a lively newsletter full of timely information about ISTM activities and travel medicine news.
ISTM also offers a number of educational materials suitable for distribution to patients and travelers. These include the 7 Tips for the Responsible Traveler and the 10 Tips for Healthy Travel. The 7 Tips document is available in a number of languages.
Available to ISTM Members in good standing is an eighty-four (84) slide teaching tool suitable for both lay and professional groups. This presentation was updated in 2008 and is international in scope, allowing the presenter to elaborate on specific local dosing and availability issues.
The ISTM Expert Opinions in Travel Medicine is a series of educational vignettes, presenting a pre-or post travel quandary that is addressed by a leading clinician. These vignettes are often discussed in more detail within the ISTM List Serve, TravelMed.
