Aeronautical medicine

What is aerospace medicine?

Aerospace medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the health and safety of people who work or travel in aeronautical and space environments. This discipline studies the physiological and psychological effects of altitude, speed, acceleration, and other environmental factors specific to aviation and space travel. Here, our main objective is to prevent and treat flight-related illnesses and injuries, as well as to ensure the physical and mental fitness of pilots, astronauts, and other aeronautical personnel. In addition, we carry out the necessary assessments to obtain and renew medical certificates in accordance with international regulations, which include vision, hearing, balance, and cardiovascular function tests, among others.

At HM Hospitales, we cover a wide range of areas, including flight physiology, space medicine, aeronautical psychology, air accident investigation, and hyperbaric medicine. If you need to obtain or renew your aeronautical medical certificate, or treat a related illness, make an appointment with one of our specialists. We are here to help you.
