APhA’s Pharmacy-Based Travel Health Services (2^nd Edition) is an innovative and interactive advanced competency training (ACT) program that explores the pharmacist’s role in providing travel health services to patients. This application-based activity is the first step for pharmacists interested in learning the essential skills necessary to successfully provide travel health services.

Program pre-requisite: Pharmacists who have completed the APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training program and received a Certificate of Achievement or have previously completed an immunization training program and are authorized to provide immunizations in the state in which they practice.

Program Goals:

• Provide pharmacists with comprehensive knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to establish and deliver a successful travel health service.
• Teach pharmacists to identify at-risk patient populations in need of preventative and travel care.
• Enhance pharmacists’ ability to effectively counsel patients on travel health.
• Motivate increased numbers of pharmacists to establish travel health services

There are two components to the APhA Pharmacy-Based Travel Health Services advanced competency training (ACT) program:

• 6.0 hour (0.60 CEU) web based self-study modules with case studies and assessment exam
• 4.0 hour (0.40 CEU) live seminar with assessment exam

Key Learning Objectives of the Live Seminar

After completing the live seminar, pharmacists will be able to:

• Distinguish the information necessary to obtain from patients to conduct a quality travel health risk assessment.
• Explain elements of a pre-travel consultation in the community pharmacy setting.
• Demonstrate appropriate health risk communication and management for international travelers.
• Select appropriate vaccinations to prevent diseases associated with travel to certain geographic regions.
• Select appropriate prescription, over-the-counter, and ancillary prophylactic and therapeutic products related to travel health.
