Make Your Travel Connection

How we can help

Travel Connections is an international traveler's health service at the University of Missouri-Columbia that will medically prepare adults and children for travel abroad.

Complex itineraries along with changing patterns of disease and international health requirements can often create difficulty for the traveler to receive adequate pre-travel counseling and immunization. This can result in the traveler unnecessarily being exposed to unfamiliar or "exotic" diseases that are usually preventable. Travel Connections is a comprehensive resource for medical services and information to help ensure a safe and illness-free trip.
