Supporting travel health since 1960. Our scholars make the world a healthier place to travel.
Our mission is to make the world a healthier place to travel.
We award scholarships to doctors and nurses from countries where travel medicine is an emerging specialty. Our scholars introduce travel health services and improve health standards in their community, benefitting local patients and travellers. To advance the knowledge and practice of travel health, we also sponsor lectureships on the latest research in travel and tropical medicine.
Vision
Our vision is to live in a world where travellers have access to quality medical care no matter who or where they are.
Approach
When health practitioners are trained in travel medicine, they are better prepared to meet the health needs of travellers. After their training, IAMAT scholars return home to teach their colleagues in travel medicine and introduce and expand travel health services in their country.
Our motto Ut Unum Sint means ‘That They May Be One’ in Latin. It still resonates today as travel is important to our well-being and attaining cultural understanding.
