The Residency in Aerospace Medicine was founded in 1993 as a joint collaboration between UTMB and NASA Johnson Space Center. We have proudly been training physicians to become experts in Aerospace Medicine for over 30 years. In that time, our alumni and faculty have been found supporting all aspects of the space and aviation industries, including Axiom Space, the FAA, NASA, Sierra Space, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic. They can also be found supporting various branches of the United States military with whom we share a valued relationship.
The first year of the residency is focused on the Masters in Aerospace Medicine. The content of this degree is continuously being updated so that the latest in Aerospace Medicine is being taught. Our core faculty brings decades of operational, research, and leadership experience to the classroom. We have over three dozen visiting faculty – world class experts – teaching you in what is arguably one of the best student-to-teacher ratios you will ever find! These experts hail from commercial space companies, the U.S. military, NASA, the FAA, and more. Wherever you may land, this personalized education is what will launch you to success upon graduation.
