Travel Medicine Practice

The Travel Medicine Practice at the University of Maryland School of Medicine is directed by Wilbur Chen, MD, MS and staffed by Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health internists and pediatricians. The practice is located in a convenient downtown location and offers comprehensive health care, including travel consultations, education, and vaccinations for those planning trips overseas, especially to tropical and subtropical countries and to more temperate countries in Eastern Europe and Asia. In addition, the clinic provides treatment services for diseases and conditions contracted overseas.

This practice is offered as a not-for-profit service to the Baltimore community. Our fixed fees and charges are minimized to offer the most competitive prices and to reduce the burden of your overall travel costs.

Services

Services include immunizations to prevent yellow fever, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, meningococcal meningitis, Japanese encephalitis, and other infections found in host countries. Travelers are educated about health risks and how to prevent them, including travelers’ diarrhea and other food and waterborne infections, malaria and insect-borne infections, altitude sickness, and local crime activity.
