Travel Health Education Program Introduction

Our online Travel Health Education Program can help you to:

• Prepare for your appointment at UHS Travel Health Services
• Learn to protect yourself from major health risks of travel
• Make informed decisions before, during and after travel

This program will NOT provide personalized recommendations.

Instead, at UHS Travel Health Services, your health care provider will make recommendations based on your destination, length of stay, health conditions, and activities. You may also wish to use our Travel Health Checklist to help prepare for your trip.
