The purpose of this study is to show the different steps which have to led to the individualization of this discipline. The necessity of Travel Medicine is a result of the rapid expansion in international and intercontinental travel, in the development of means of prevention of risks linked to this increased travel, in modification made in the doctor-traveler relationship, and in the updating of everchanging epidemiological data. A strategy was developed in France, taking into account all components involved, leading to the creation of the French Travel Medicine Society in 1993. This society can be as an example abroad. The International Society of Travel Medicine was founded in 1992, Atlanta. Travel Medicine has always existed, but the organisation of its structures and especially the training of specialists has to be reconsidered. The main goal of Travel Medicine is the prevention, through information, of medical risks while travelling. This discipline is first and foremost a matter of Public Health. Investigation of this domain is far from complete.
本研究的目的是展示导致该学科个体化的不同步骤。旅行医学的必要性是国际和洲际旅行迅速扩张、与旅行增加相关的风险预防手段的发展、医患关系的变化以及不断变化的流行病学数据更新的结果。法国制定了一项战略，考虑到所有相关因素，于1993年成立了法国旅行医学会。该学会在国外堪称典范。国际旅行医学会于1992年在亚特兰大成立。旅行医学一直存在，但必须重新考虑其结构组织，尤其是专家培训。旅行医学的主要目标是通过提供信息预防旅行中的医疗风险。这一学科首先是一个公共卫生问题。对这一领域的研究远未完成。
