This must be completed prior to entering our residency program. Application to the Aerospace Medicine residency program may be made while in medical school or afterward.
Academic Year (PGY-2): This 12-month period provides graduate course work in epidemiology, biostatistics, health services administration and environmental health. A research topic in aerospace medicine is selected and is begun under supervision. Certain clinical aerospace medicine experiences are provided along with field trips to aviation related facilities. The academic year extends from July I through June 30.
The "Practicum Year" (PGY-3)-supervised experience and application:The second year consists of continued progress and completion of the research project undertaken in the first year. Residents must complete several one-month clinical aerospace medicine rotations at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Federal Aviation Administration, Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers, forensic pathology, and otorhinolaryngology.
Master of Science: The Master of Science degree is awarded to those trainees who complete the 46 hours of graduate course work and the thesis research project.
