Aerospace Medical Association

The Aerospace Medical Association is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. It is the largest, most-representative professional membership organization in the fields of aviation, space, and environmental medicine. AsMA is an umbrella group providing a forum for many different disciplines to come together and share their expertise for the benefit of all persons involved in air and space travel. The Association has provided its expertise to a multitude of Federal and international agencies on a broad range of issues, including aviation and space medical standards, the aging pilot, and physiological stresses of flight. AsMA's membership includes aerospace medicine specialists, flight nurses, physiologists, psychologists, human factors specialists, and researchers in this field. Most are with industry, civil aviation regulatory agencies, departments of defense and military services, the airlines, space programs, and universities. Approximately 25% of the membership originates from outside the USA. Through the efforts of the AsMA members, safety in flight and man's overall adaptation to adverse environments have been more nearly achieved.

Joint Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association and the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society

May 17-21, 2026

Denver, CO

Aerospace Medical Association

The primary objective of the joint Aerospace Medical Association and Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Annual Scientific Meeting is to share and disseminate scientific information across the pressure spectrum from sea to air to space. The meeting content is designed from prior evaluations, expert opinions, periodic surveys, and accepted abstracts. The joint meeting provides the latest results in sessions designed for aerospace, undersea, and hyperbaric medicine professionals under ONE roof. The scientific program will benefit physicians, academics, residents, medical and graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in aerospace, undersea, and hyperbaric medicine. Professional development and the other core competencies, as outlined by the American Board of Preventive Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Medicine, will be highlighted throughout the meeting. Continuing education credits are available for participants. The AsMA and UHMS are international in both membership and scope of interest, providing opportunities to connect and exchange ideas with some of the world’s foremost medical specialists and internationally renowned scientists in the fields of Aerospace and Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine and Human Performance. If you are interested in the multi-disciplinary approach to working with humans along the full pressure continuum and challenging environments, whether as a physician, physiologist, researcher, engineer, technician, nurse, student, or pilot. You should be one of us!

Aerospace, Undersea, and Hyperbaric medicine are truly multi-disciplinary and international. Our Annual Scientific Meeting presentations come from diverse experts who will enhance the world’s knowledge and understanding of the current challenges in Aerospace, Undersea, and Hyperbaric Medicine and demonstrate an impact on improving the health, safety, and human performance of those involved in aviation, space, clinical hyperbaric medicine, undersea and extreme environments. Our Annual Scientific Meeting presents an opportunity to learn about the work of our colleagues worldwide and share the knowledge and wisdom we gain in our day-to-day work and practice.
