Aviation Medicine
We undertake research and provide training in the unique field of aviation medicine, which looks at the interaction between the aviation environment and human physiological and psychological systems. Our main emphasis is on understanding the implications of exposure to the flight environment on human performance.
We're part of the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine.
About us
We conduct a range of training and research activities in aviation medicine and aerospace physiology. We are fundamentally concerned with health consequences in pilots, aircrew and aircraft passengers.
Training
We deliver the highly successful Australian Certificate in Civil Aviation Medicine (ACCAM), as well as a number of other training courses for both aircrew and aviation medicine-qualified doctors.
Research
Our research is designed to gain a better understanding of the human consequences of exposure to the flight environment, and ultimately to improve flight safety.
