Program Description: The Aerospace Medicine (AM) residency is a 3 year program designed to prepare the graduate for leadership billets as senior medical officers on aircraft carriers or in aviation and operational medicine billets in the Navy and Marine Corps. The program includes a PGY2 academic curriculum (FTOS) leading to a MPH, followed by two years (PGY-3 and 4) at the Naval Operational Medicine Institute in Pensacola, FL. The practicum rotations emphasize aircraft accident investigation and environmental physiology and toxicology with respect to the biologic effects of altered pressure, temperature, atmosphere chemistry, and ionizing radiation. Facilities are available for laboratory and clinical investigation of problems with direct application to aerospace medicine. Formal research projects are an integral part of the practicum phase.
