  • What does a USAF Aerospace Medicine Flight do?

    same as above!

    Question for you is active duty or reserve unit?

    Active duty-wise, Aerospace Medicine focuses on the medical care of military members on flight status; those members whose jobs involve being airborne or also work in altitude chambers.

    The Reserve side is the medical unit for the reserve base or wing. It’s function is to ensure that members of the wing are medically cleared for duty. Patients include both flyers and non-flyers.

    Both active and reserve coordinate findings with lab, immunizations, and other support functions. Both have doctors that are certified as flight doctors who have specialized training and understand the physiological aspects flying has upon the human body.
