Objective: Travel medicine services and training are well established in the British Isles, but the situation in Brazil has not been extensively described. Methodology: We conducted a review of literature related to travel to travel medicine services and training in Brazil. Results: Specialised travel medicine clinics catering for departing travellers and ill returnees exist in the large Brazilian urban centres of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Travel medicine educational events have been hosted by various institutions. Conclusion: The approach to travel medicine in the British Isles, with its focus on education and training, continuing professional development, and standards of practice, may reasonably be adopted in Brazil.
