Plenty!: A travel medicine expert will focus on preventive advice, rx, and immunization to keep you safe and healthy on the road. Note that this field is much more than "infectious diseases" and includes also travel with kids, while pregnant, with other underlying medical conditions, to altitude, diving, wilderness medicine, etc. You will be well educated yet still excited about your upcoming trip!
