Do travel clinic physicians need any extra training, or can they just be a GP?


Recommended Posts

I was contemplating maybe running a travel immunization clinic someday, but do you need any extra training to be able to do this? Would a residency in family medicine be adequate (in addition to the correct licensing for giving yellow fever vaccinations, etc.)? Is there a demand for this?

 

Edit: This would be in addition to working as a family doctor.

There is currently no specific accreditation for this.

 

Family docs do this as well as ID specialists.

 

Family docs tend to have a day or afternoon set aside a week for it, for example.

 

I don`t know that you could do only that full-time. First, because I am not sure if there is that much demand (especially depending on where you are) and second, boredom.
