Over the past thirty years, travel health nursing has evolved into a distinct and complex specialty. In 2020, the American Nurses Association (ANA) officially recognized travel health nursing as a formal nursing specialty for the first time. The inaugural edition of the ANA and ATHNA’s Travel Health Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice is an essential guide for nurses committed to enhancing the health of travelers—both domestic and international—and the communities they visit and return to. Travel health nurses receive specialized training to improve the health and safety of travelers through comprehensive risk assessments, vaccinations, health education, and medical interventions. These professionals operate across three critical phases: pre-travel, during travel (“in-transit”), and post-travel, serving in various settings such as college health, occupational health, public health, military environments, primary care, and nurse-led travel health clinics, among others.
