Travax International Partners
Shoreland utilizes its own global network of active practitioners and leading academic faculty in the fields of travel and tropical medicine, providing ongoing information about local health conditions and care capabilities, plus unusual patient issues they encounter, and responding to periodic surveys related to Travax content. Our partners network covers 6 continents with on-the-ground collaborative input.
Multi-National Organization Collaborative Group
In 2002, Shoreland established a collaborative working group of medical directors from corporations and government entities with physical operations and medical personnel in nearly every country. The group provides feedback on Travax recommendations and monitors for unusual local health activity, providing valuable on-the-ground knowledge when unusual outbreaks occur.
