Abstract

Currently there is a growing interest in Aerospace Medicine, a field focused on the physiology of the human body in outer-atmosphere and space environments. What interest exists in the specialty and whether medical students are capable of approaching common challenges in this area remains to be seen. A multiple-choice test along with a survey was structured and distributed to TSMU medical students. Year 1 and Year 2-6 students’ scores were compiled and compared. Data collected from results revealed there is surprisingly great interest in Aerospace Medicine in the medical student community, as well as the lack of statistical significance between experienced students’ performance and understanding of first-year students. Though the study confirms the existence of an interest in Aerospace Medicine, the lack of statistical significance when comparing students is most likely due to inadequate data and the ineffectiveness of the test.
