Travel Medicine at NYU Langone Infectious Disease Associates

At Travel Medicine at NYU Langone Infectious Diseases Associates, we aim to reduce travel-associated health risks and provide care for adults ages 18 and older who have contracted an illness during their travels. All care is provided by clinicians trained in travel medicine, tropical medicine, and infectious diseases. Virtual doctor visits are available for people located in New York State.

Pretravel Health Assessments

All pretravel assessments are based on the traveler’s health history, risk of disease at the destination, planned activities, and tolerance of risk. Pretravel patient education, which is an important part of patient care, is paired with an assessment of needed and recommended vaccinations. We emphasize shared decision-making for vaccination choices. We offer telemedicine pretravel visits, after which any vaccinations can be scheduled.

Make an Appointment

To schedule an appointment, please call us at 646-501-9831 at least four weeks before travel to allow time to prepare and receive any needed immunizations. Even if your date of departure is much sooner than that, it is still worth coming in for an assessment. We will make every effort to get you in before you leave.
