The Master of Science in Aerospace Medicine degree program is conducted by Boonshoft School of Medicine’s Department of Community Health, Division of Aerospace Medicine. The program includes specialty-specific education in the basic and advanced topics in aviation and space medicine, operational aerospace medicine, human factors and aerospace accident investigation. In addition to this, the graduate program includes core preventive medicine subjects: environmental medicine, biostatistics, epidemiology, health services administration and behavioral aspects of health. Physicians in the Aerospace Medicine Residency are required to complete the master of science (M.S.) degree program.

Physicians (national and/or international) who do not meet the minimum requirements for residency applicants and/or do not desire to complete the residency program may enroll in the M.S. degree portion of the program. This provides all of the same course work as in the residency but does not include any clinical rotations at aerospace and public health facilities.
