Spartan Aerospace Medicine
How do we claim our place among the stars?
“Each time man travels out into space, attention focuses on all people, not just scientists. Space medicine, therefore, bears a great responsibility to history and humanity.”

Our Mission
To inspire, empower, and educate aspiring aerospace medicine professionals.​
​
Aerospace medicine is centered around the research, medical care, and operational side of the health and performance of pilots and astronauts. As air travel advances, fighter jet capabilities are revolutionized and interplanetary endeavors become an international goal, our pilots and astronauts become more important than ever. To support these remarkable individuals, aerospace medical professionals are absolutely necessary.
Aerospace medicine physicians are employed by organizations like NASA, the Air Force, and commercial airlines. Therefore, aerospace medicine professionals can have a wide variety of roles ranging from check-ups, microgravity physiology research to becoming astronauts. Aerospace medicine is a relatively new medical field but, is quickly growing, has interdisciplinary importance, and, above all, is extremely interesting!
