Travel Medicine and Travel-associated Diseases
The German population is one of the most travelling populations. COVID-19 is the best example for the impact of travelers to carry infectious diseases worldwide. The Outpatient clinic for Travel Medicine and Tropical Medicine has a trans-regional focus on travel- and tropical-associated diseases and conducts health services research in this area. In addition, a second focus of the outpatient clinic is to evaluate and implement aspects of sustainability.
Interested students and researcher in this topic are welcomed to collaborate with us. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
