AB Clinicians  caring  for  children  are  frequently  asked  questions  regarding  preparation  for  travel  abroad.  Children  visiting  other  countries  are  at  risk  of  travel-related  illnesses  such  as  malaria  and  diarrheal  diseases.  Accidents  and  injuries  may  also  occur.  To  help  prevent  these,  clinicians  must  know  how  to  find  the  needed  information  and  provide  appropriate  medical  advice  or  refer  the  child  and  family  to  a  travel  medicine  clinic.  For  some  communities,  travel  clinics  are  too  distant  for  routine  referrals  or  may  not  provide  pediatric  services;  thus  the  clinician  is  called  on  to  provide  the  needed  services.
