Practice Guidelines

The following Aerospace Medicine practice guidelines are the product of a large working group headed by Dr. Dan Van Syoc and Dr. Warren Silberman.  A very sincere "thank you" is given to the many Society members who have spent, and continue to spend, countless hours preparing and editing these documents.

The guidelines have been prepared in conjunction with the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA).

Please review and comment on the guidelines.  Feel free to use the Guidelines as you see fit to improve your practice of Aerospace Medicine.
