Space Medicine Fellowship
As we travel away from low-earth orbit, astronauts deserve acute emergency medical care to be provided by expert clinicians. Space Medicine creates those expert clinicians with special training relevant to space travel.
In conjunction with federal and private space flight experts, MGH Wilderness Medicine has been recognized for its leadership in education in provision of expert, innovative care under demanding conditions. Wilderness Medicine is defined as the provision of ‘resource-limited medicine under austere conditions.’ Space Medicine is the acme of these two conditions.
Our coalition is creating a new acute-care-based field, Space Medicine, which will be governed by the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
Using the skills of emergency and wilderness medicine, experts in Space Medicine are developing techniques and technologies to allow diagnosis and treatment of space travelers in situ (well-away from Earth). It adds to the extraordinary efforts of the last 60 years, and seeks to expand from there. It will be a sub-specialty of emergency medicine and will be housed within the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
