Aerospace Medicine

Aerospace medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the health and well-being of individuals who fly in aircraft or travel in space. It involves studying the effects of flight and space travel on the human body, including changes in gravity, pressure, and oxygen levels. Aerospace medicine aims to prevent and manage health issues related to these environments, ensuring pilots, astronauts, and passengers can operate safely and effectively. This field combines aspects of general medicine, physiology, and psychology to address challenges faced during air and space travel.
