Ph.D. in Aviation Medicine is a 3-5 year research program that investigates the medical and physiological issues that individuals in aviation, such as pilots, aircrew, and passengers, experience. It combines medicine, physiology, psychology, and engineering to investigate how flying affects human health, such as altitude sickness, hypoxia, weariness, and the impact of G-forces. The course also includes aerospace physiology, aviation safety, air traffic control, and the management of medical disorders in aviation settings. Students do research to improve flight safety, human performance, and medical risk management in aviation. Graduates can work in research, aerospace medicine, aviation safety, regulatory agencies, and healthcare institutions, helping to improve the health and well-being of those in the aviation industry.
