Dignitary Protection Medicine (DPM) is a new area of medical expertise that incorporates elements of virtually all medical and surgical specialties, drawing heavily from travel, tactical and expedition medicine. The fundamentals of DPM stem from the experiences of White House, State Department and other physicians who have traveled extensively with dignitaries. Furthermore, increased international travel of business executives and political dignitaries has mandated a need for proficiency in this realm. We sought to define the requisite knowledge base and skill sets that form the foundation of this new area of specialization.
礼宾保护医学（DPM）是一个新的医学专业领域，融合了几乎所有医学和外科专业的元素，大量借鉴了旅行、战术和探险医学。DPM 的基础源于白宫、国务院和其他与政要广泛旅行的医生的经验。此外，商务主管和政治要员的国际旅行增加，使得这一领域需要精通这方面的知识。我们试图确定形成这一新专业领域基础的必要知识库和技能集。
