Travel Medicine

We provide a full spectrum of Travel Medicine services for students traveling abroad, whether for academic programs, for vacation, or for service learning and other opportunities. For the latest information on COVID-19 testing and vaccination, please refer to our COVID-19 webpage as well as the university's coronavirus information webpage. The Global Education Oregon (GEO) website has up-to-date information on its study abroad programs.

If you wish to schedule a Travel Health appointment, please fill out a Pre-Travel Worksheet in the myUOHealth portal to inform us of your travel plans. We will then contact you and discuss when to schedule your Travel Health appointment. You may wish to wait until closer to your departure (approximately six weeks prior) to schedule an appointment, as travel restrictions may change before then. Many appointments can be conducted virtually by telemedicine, though some programs do require a physical exam.

All Travel Health appointments include the following:

  • Review of the traveler's medical history and itinerary
  • Review of immunization history and discussion of routine, recommended and required vaccines (all of which can be provided here, with the exception of yellow fever; see below)
  • Discussion of health and safety while traveling, covering such things as insect precautions, sun protection, food and beverage selection, STI prevention, medical care while abroad, and general safety and security measures
  • Completion of any required forms

Some itineraries may also call for a discussion of malaria, altitude sickness, rabies, tuberculosis, and/or other relevant risks. 

To obtain Travel Medicine services

  1.  Go to the myUOHealth portal and complete a Pre-Travel Worksheet, found in the Forms section. Do this at least 6-8 weeks but not more than 6 months before departure. 
  2.  Once the Pre-Travel Worksheet is submitted, we will call you within five business days to discuss an appointment time. Please make sure your phone number is correct in our system so we can reach you. It helps if your voicemail is functional so we can leave you a message. If you have not heard from us in over five days, please check your voicemail and/or call Clinic G at 541-346-2739.
  3.  If we do not already have your complete vaccination records, upload them to the myUOHealth portal. Almost all vaccines can be administered at University Health Services (see below).
  4.  Prior to your appointment, print your travel forms, complete your self-evaluation sections, and bring them with you to your travel clinic appointment. Bring a list of any medications, including over-the-counter medicines, and a thorough knowledge of your medical history. 

For questions please call University Health Services Clinic G at 541-346-2739.
