THIS WEEK IN MEDICAL TRAVEL TODAY Volume 6, Issue 1   Greetings, TravelMarketReport.com, Kiplinger’s, USA Today, ENT Today, and the Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies. Those are just a few of the media outlets and organizations that chose to begin the new year with a look at medical travel.  Happily, the nature of the stories presented has evolved from a cautionary tale of a new fad to meaningful articulations of the upsides and opportunities for medical travel. I’d also like to take this opportunity to again thank Joe Woodman of Patients Beyond Borders for providing copies of his books to use as prizes in the book drawing program we conducted to market Medical Travel Today’s fifth year of publication. We’re grateful to Joe and to all the readers who entered every issue. Finally, Medical Travel Today is compiling a story on the changing roles of medical travel facilitators. If you and your colleagues are interested in being featured in this story, please be in touch! We are looking for: – Innovative platforms to generate patient inquiry volume – New capabilities that distinguish your organization – Opportunities to interface with US-based businesses and employers – Ways to partner with international medical travel companies As always, we welcome your comments, story ideas, and press releases.   Cheers, Amanda Haar, Editor [email protected]
