Abstract		The field of travel medicine has expanded dramatically as a greater number of people travel to exotic and remote destinations. Travel medicine has become increasingly complex due to dynamic changes in global infectious disease epidemiology, changing patterns of drug resistance, and a rise in the number of travellers with chronic health conditions. According to recommendations and guidelines of the International Society of Travel Medicine, the body of knowledge for the practice of travel medicine (i. e. the scope and extent of knowledge required for professionals working in the field of travel medicine) is presented.
Summary		Področje potovalne medicine se je z vse večjim številom ljudi, ki potujejo v eksotične in odročne kraje, močno povečalo. Zaradi dinamičnih sprememb v globalni epidemiologiji infekcijskih bolezni, sprememb v odpornosti na zdravila in vse večjega števila popotnikov s kroničnimi boleznimi je postala potovalna medicina zelo kompleksno področje medicine. Glede na priporočila in navodila Mednarodnega združenja za potovalno medicino je v članku prikazano potrebno znanje, ki ga mora imeti strokovnjak, ki se ukvarja s potovalno medicino.
