Abstract:
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.
