Welcome from the President
Dear Academicians and guests,
Welcome to the new website of the International Academy of Aviation and Space Medicine. This new site is the product of well over a year of ideas, deliberations, discussions and most of all, hard work.
For the guests who are not familiar with the Academy and our work, the Academy is a professional organization dedicated to the advancement of Aerospace Medicine. Its members hail from all four corners of the globe, united by their work in the field. Candidate academicians are sponsored by Academicians of good standing and are elected to membership after a rigorous process of vetting, based on their achievements in the field. The organization prides itself on being totally apolitical and driven solely by professional considerations.
Our vision, as the pre-eminent association in the field, is to advance the science and art of aviation medicine through collaboration on teaching and research. Our primary tools to achieve these goals are the International Congress of Aviation and Space Medicine (ICASM - held yearly at alternating sites across the globe), our participation in the annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association (held annually in North America), the committees which meet at the Congresses and continue their work through email and other means throughout the year and now also the website.
Please explore the new website and use it as a tool to learn about us and the work of our members. Use the links to find out about the upcoming congresses and other activities. We would be delighted if you could join us at the upcoming Congress in Singapore in October 2010. Our Congresses are open to all comers, whether they wish to participate by submitting abstracts for formal slide presentations or posters or just to come to listen to the lectures by leaders in the field of aviation medicine, to meet old and new colleagues and to exchange ideas. The abstracts from recent Congresses are available through this website so feel free to look through them to get a feel for the work that is being done in the field by people across the globe.
To all our Academicians, this is your website. Please use it and contribute to it so that it will become a living site, one for exchanging ideas and opinions, a source of news and anything else that you would like to see here.
Finally, a word of thanks to our Secretary General, Dr. Claude Thibeault, who conducts our operations from behind the scenes! Thank you for a job well done and thanks to all those who helped you along the way.
Michael Berry, MD
President
