The United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) was established in 1918, originally as part of the U.S. Army’s efforts to advance aviation medicine during World War I. Over the decades, USAFSAM has become a world leader in aerospace medicine, human performance, and related scientific research. The school provides training for Air Force medical personnel in fields such as bioenvironmental engineering, flight medicine, and global health. Today, USAFSAM, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, continues to support both military and civilian aerospace operations through education, research, and operational consultation.
