Launching a successful health tourism company is not an easy task, so medical travel agents need to learn the “best practices” of the industry. When starting a company from the ground up, you need to know what works and what does not work. This, among many other reasons, is why we created the Certified Medical Travel Agent Course, to eliminate the daunting time it takes to figure out this complex industry and help startups avoid the agonizing “trial and error” phase of growing a business. This easy-to-follow training course goes over every aspect of global healthcare and has proven to increase credibility and trustworthiness for organizations worldwide.
This certification was designed for students to access critical information while retaining key details. There are quizzes at the end of each chapter, which is a great way to learn and retain knowledge.
Becoming certified as a professional medical tourism facilitator will give you an edge in the marketplace, show your commitment to learning, and assist you in attracting more international patients. After you have completed the course, you will be awarded a medical tourism accreditation certificate. Plus, you will be able to use the Certified Medical Travel Agent logo on your promotional material and digital platforms which will establish trust amongst prospects and future clients.
Here is a short interview with one of our Facilitator Gold Members who recently took the online Certified Medical Travel Agent Course:
Teresa Rook, CEO of SEF-Surgical European Facilitator, an Italian based medical tourism company
Can you tell us a little about your medical tourism agency and what you specialize in?
Our company, SEF-Surgical European Facilitator, deals with Cross Border Healthcare and Medical Tourism. We help Italian patients find the best solutions outside of Italy for surgical treatment, avoid the long waiting lists of the National Health System and use the EU Directive 24/2011.
We also help patients around the world find the best surgeons and doctors throughout Europe.

Testimonial
The healthcare tourism course I took with Medical Tourism Business was eye-opening for me. It helped me learn a lot about the medical tourism industry as a whole and its potential for growth in the future. The topics presented in the course showed me where exactly the facilitator fits in the entire chain and how they can add value to the customer. The chapters walked me through the entire process of setting up a medical travel company and offered tips related to best practices, common pitfalls, and advice on how to stand out from the competition in this industry. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is about to embark on his/her medical facilitator journey. –Stan Touhlov, Certified Medical Travel Agent
