Aerospace Medicine Interest Group
Mission Statement:
The Aerospace Medicine Interest Group is dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering interest in the interconnected fields of aerospace, hyperbaric, and dive medicine. We aim to explore the unique physiological challenges of human health and performance in extreme environments, from the depths of the ocean to the edges of space. Through education, research, hands-on experiences, and collaboration with experts, we strive to equip future physicians with the skills and insight needed to innovate and improve safety and well-being in aviation, spaceflight, and underwater exploration.
Statement of Purpose
The Aerospace Medicine Interest Group explores the fascinating intersections of aerospace, hyperbaric, and dive medicine. Our club provides opportunities for medical students to learn about the unique challenges of human physiology in extreme environments—whether in aviation, spaceflight, or underwater exploration. Through guest lectures, hands-on workshops, and research initiatives, we aim to inspire innovation and prepare future physicians to contribute to these specialized fields of medicine.
