90th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association


This event qualifies for CME AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM


The Aerospace Medical Association’s 90th Annual Scientific Meeting will be held in Las Vegas, NV, USA. This year’s theme is “Aerospace Medicine sans Frontières.”


Our aerospace medicine and human performance field is not immune to the need for global connection and collaboration, just like other sectors in aviation! AsMA has an important role to play by creating and stimulating scientific exchange, experiences, and contacts with our members and colleagues of aerospace medicine and related associations around the world, and with other partners in aviation, such as professional and leisure pilots and air traffic controllers. We hope to see many friends from different sectors and from different parts of our world at the largest existing scientific meeting in our field!


The AsMA Annual Scientific Meeting is the premier international forum to learn and discuss evolving trends and multidisciplinary best practices in research, clinical applications, human performance, and flight safety.

 

In this our 90th year we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and the first steps taken by Man on the Moon. A special plenary session and a history panel will pay tribute to this monumental achievement in our history.
