Travel health nursing has evolved as a distinct and increasingly
complex specialty over the past three decades, and in 2020, ANA
officially recognized travel health nursing as a nursing specialty
for the first time. This first edition of ANA and ATHNA's Travel
Health Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice is an important
professional resource for nurses who strive to advance the
well-being of all domestic and international travellers, and the
communities to which they travel and return. Travel health nurses
are specially educated and trained to promote the health and safety
of travellers through comprehensive risk analysis, assessment,
immunizations, health education, and therapeutic interventions.
Nurses in this specialty provide services in three different
clinical encounters: pre-travel, during travel ("in-transit"), and
post-travel in a variety of settings that include college health,
occupational health, public health, the military, primary care, and
nurse-managed travel health clinics, among others.
