Membership Benefits
- Joint Effort Toward A Universal Goal
A member of AsMA
shares in an effort that can only be achieved by coordinated group action;
i.e., to provide safety in flight, and in similar potentially hazardous
or stressful environments, through medical research and the clinical application
of such research. The combined interests of Association members are represented
through unified promotion of scientific education, training, research,
and dissemination of information concerning aviation, space, and environmental
medicine, the life sciences, bioastronautics, and related specialties.
- Monthly Professional Journal
Membership includes a subscription to the peer-reviewed monthly journal,
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine .
- Annual Scientific Meeting
The Association's annual scientific meeting provides a multi-faceted forum
for all aerospace medical disciplines and concurrently provides continuing
education credits for those attending the meeting. Lectures, seminars,
panels, poster presentations, workshops, film reports, and technical and
scientific exhibits present data on the latest results of clinical and
research studies. No other meeting brings together such a diverse group
of specialists - clinical health care directors, physicians, scientists,
and nurses from the armed services, NASA,
FAA, and industry,
plus the many private practitioners in all clinical specialties - who
care for the total civilian flying population on a daily basis. International
representation is evident among both program participants and attendees.
- Continuing Professional Education
All disciplines are strongly encouraged to participate in some form of
continuing professional education. Continuing Medical Education (CME)
credits are provided to physicians and nurses attending the Annual Scientific
Meeting, including ASMA Category 1 CME credits and Continuing Education
Contact Hours (CEUs) for nurses.
Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is offered for selected sessions at the Annual Scientific Meeting (additional fees apply).
See the Meeting Brochure, Program, and registration form for further details.
CME/MOC credit is provided for journal articles. Each month approximately 3 journal articles will have questions and a form to
fill out for credit. You must submit it to the Home Office along with a fee. The Home Office will grade the questions and archive
CME/MOC credit.
You can download AsMA's CME Mission Statement for
the Conduct of CME from the About AsMA downloadable materials area.
- Mentorship Program
The Association's newly created Mentorship Program is designed to pair younger members who are
early in their careers with senior members who share a common interest or who can aide the mentee
in their interaction in the AsMA. You must be a member to use this feature.
- Participation In Committee
Action
Voluntary participation as a member of a standing committee or sub-committee
allows both personal contributions and an opportunity for interpersonal
exchange of ideas in areas of Association interest. Committee action is
oriented specifically toward meeting the Association's objectives through
the combined expertise of committee members.
- World-Wide Exchange Of Ideas
The Association is international in both membership and scope of interest,
providing opportunities to associate and exchange ideas with the world's
foremost medical specialists and internationally renowned scientists.
Medical leaders and scientists from more than 80 nations are active members
of the Association.
- Recognition of Peers
Members may be elected to the status of Associate Fellow or Fellow of
the Aerospace Medical Association. Members are also eligible
for Annual Awards, presented to qualified
individuals during our annual Honors Night Ceremonies .
