In the context of international travel health, what does 'ISTM' stand for?

  1. International Society of Travel Medicine

  2. International Standard for Tropical Medicine

  3. International Study of Tropical Medicine

  4. International Service for Travel Medicine

The correct answer is: International Society of Travel Medicine

The International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) is a global organization dedicated to promoting healthy and safe travel. The other options are not accurate as they either do not include the word "travel" or do not reflect the full title of the organization. While the terms "tropical medicine" and "travel medicine" are often used interchangeably, the ISTM specifically focuses on travel medicine and not just tropical medicine. Additionally, the "Study" and "Service" options imply a more limited scope of the organization's work compared to the more encompassing "Society" option.
