Membership
We are a worldwide community of travel medicine professionals striving to achieve and maintain excellence in healthcare. Our members are at the heart of our College community, working together to deliver excellence for the benefit of patient care.
The high cost of medical training is of great concern to the College and we are working to find ways to reduce this cost. Our members receive substantial discounts on our CPD-approved training courses, free subscriptions to TMAID, Emporiatrics and Voice.
We offer several courses, certificates and training for travel medicine practitioners, including a Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) eLearning module, and the International Diploma in Expedition and Wilderness Medicine.
Our Members automatically receive the internationally-recognised post-nominal MFTM RCPS(Glasg).
Membership is open to applicants who have successfully completed the MFTM exam, for Members of other UK/Irish Royal Colleges and for travel medicine practitioners with outstanding professional achievements. You can find the eligibility criteria here.
