Making the decision to work in the area of travel medicine is an important first step, which should be followed by training. It may be useful initially for those new to travel medicine to affiliate with a travel clinic group, a medical advisory service or perhaps other institutions, suhc as universities (e.g. university health services). Further, some research in New Zealand found an association between those interested in travel mediicne and having had tropical medicine/developing country experience (Leggat et al., 1999).
