The Faculty of Travel Medicine was established in 2000 as the first Faculty of Travel Medicine globally.

Expedition medicine, also known as ‘wilderness medicine’, has been described as one of the four supporting pillars of travel medicine. According to The Oxford Handbook of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine, the field is “concerned with maintaining physical and psychological health under the stresses and challenges of expeditions.”
