Tropical medicine encompasses a wide array of options. Those trained in temperate regions need to define their longer term goals before plunging into the demanding and rewarding challenges of medicine in the tropics. The experience will certainly change their perceptions about career directions, but it is obviously better if the overseas post fits into a career plan rather than frustrating long term goals. This article discusses training needs and opportunities for careers in tropical medicine.
热带医学包含众多选择。在温带地区接受培训的人员在投身热带地区医学领域那些要求高但回报丰厚的挑战之前，需要明确自己的长期目标。这段经历肯定会改变他们对职业方向的看法，但如果海外职位符合职业规划而不是挫败长期目标，显然会更好。本文讨论了热带医学职业的培训需求和机会。
