87th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association

HUMAN PERFORMANCE AND THE YEAR OF THE AEROSPACE MEDICINE PROFESSIONAL Among the current challenges facing Aerospace Medicine practitioners are long-duration space travel, spaceflight physiology, aircrew fatigue, legislative removal of medical standards, aircraft and spacecraft cabin environments, unpiloted aerial vehicles, mental health in aircrew, medical and ethical guidelines for commercial spaceflight passengers and crew, and decreased funding and support. How has our understanding and impact on these and other challenges been improved? What key work is filling the knowledge gaps, what research is being done to solve critical problems, what scientific information or activities support a change in viewpoints or policy?

Aerospace medicine is truly multi-disciplinary and international. Our presentations come from diverse experts who will enhance the world’s knowledge and understanding of the current challenges in Aerospace Medicine and demonstrate an impact on improving the health, safety, and human performance of those involved in aviation, space, and extreme environments. Our annual scientific meeting presents an opportunity to learn about the work of our colleagues from around the world, to share the knowledge and wisdom which we gain in our day-to-day work and practice, and is a great way to expand the overall community of aerospace medicine.

AsMA 2016 is THE forum for the latest information on health, safety, and human performance in aerospace environments. The Program Committee, chaired by Barry Shender, Ph.D., has organized a balanced program of sessions on human performance, aerospace medicine, travel medicine, space medicine, civil and military aviation medicine, and safety.
