Episode 2: Collaborating Across Borders: The Power of Interprofessional Care in Travel Medicine

In this episode of the ISTM On The Go Podcast, we dive into the heart of travel medicine and the importance of collaboration among healthcare professionals. Whether you're a physician, nurse, pharmacist or any other healthcare professional, your unique skills contribute significantly to the care of travelers. 

Host Tara Lombardo, Chair of the ISTM Nursing Professional Group from Canada is joined by three ISTM members: John Byron, a physician from New Zealand; Catherine Keil, a nurse practitioner from South Australia; and Sheila Seed, a pharmacist from the United States. Together, they explore the collaborative spirit of travel medicine and how it not only enriches the experiences of healthcare professionals but also leads to better outcomes for travelers.
