86th Annual Scientific Meeting
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN
AEROSPACE MEDICINE
Among the current challenges facing Aerospace
Medicine practitioners are long-duration space
travel, spaceflight physiology, aircrew fatigue,
legislative removal of medical standards, aircraft
and spacecraft cabin environments, unpiloted
aerial vehicles, mental health in aircrew, medical
and ethical guidelines for commercial spaceflight
passengers and crew, and decreased funding and
support. How has our understanding and impact
on these and other challenges been improved?
What key work filled the knowledge gaps, what
research was done in solving a critical problem,
what scientific information or activities supported
a change in viewpoints or policy?
As aerospace medicine is truly multi-disciplinary and international, we encourage presentations
from diverse experts that will enhance the world’s
knowledge and understanding of the current challenges in Aerospace Medicine and demonstrate
an impact on improving the health, safety, and
human performance of those involved in aviation,
space, and extreme environments. Our annual scientific meeting presents an opportunity to learn
about the work of our colleagues from around the
world, to share the knowledge and wisdom which
we gain in our day-to-day work and practice, and
is a great way to expand the overall community of
aerospace medicine.
AsMA 2015 is the forum for the latest information on health, safety, and human performance in
aerospace environments.
The Program Committee, chaired by Justin
Woodson, M.D., has organized a balanced program of sessions on civil and military aviation
medicine, travel medicine, space medicine, safety,
and human performance.
Register Online now at www.asma.org/annualmeetings/registration to learn about current
trends in the aerospace medicine and human performance arena and meet with your colleagues.
We hope to see you there.
Educational Objectives
Educational Benefits
Based upon responses to a survey provided at the
end of the 85th Annual Scientific Meeting in San
Diego, CA, our members indicated a need for more
information in six major categories: 1) Aerospace
Medicine; 2) Human Performance; 3) Medical
Standards; 4) Fatigue; 5) Space Medicine; and 6)
Travel Medicine.
The 86th Annual Scientific Meeting program
will be focused on these six major categories.
Sessions will cover the latest findings in the fields
of aviation and space medicine, human performance, and related fields such as aerospace nursing, aerospace physiology, and human systems
integration.
Abstracts are centered on the meeting objectives, which are aligned with the theme. The participant will:
• Learn about evolving trends and best practices
in aerospace medicine;
• Apply principles of evidence-based medicine,
operational risk management, and aeromedical decision-making in aircrew selection and
clinical aerospace medicine practice;
• Analyze mechanical, human performance, and
systems integration factors in aviation mishaps
and safety programs;
• Identify mechanical, biological, social, cognitive, and systems factors that impact on optimal human performance and decision making
in the full spectrum of aerospace operations;
• Apply ethical principles to aerospace medicine
decision-making and foster competency in
professionalism and systems-based practice
in the application of aerospace medicine skills,
teamwork, and interoperability in a multi-discipline professional environment.
• CME credits—AsMA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education
for physicians.
• AsMA designates this live activity for a maximum of 24 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.
Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation
in the activity.
• Nurses may receive CEUs from the Montana
Nursing Association. Sessions available for
credit will be identified in the program.
• MOC Available! Maintenance of Certification
modules: Workshops, Panels, and Slide Sessions have been designated for MOC. At least
20 non-concurrent hours of MOC training will
be available.
• The Aerospace Medicine Board Review series
will review core topics in Aerospace Medicine
and is designed to prepare Aerospace Medicine specialists for the ABPM re-certification
exam. Topics are presented in three sessions
each year by specialists in the field and adhere
to the ABPM Study Guide outline, which will be
covered in its entirety over the course of three
consecutive years. Combined with the annual
RAM Bowl and Aerospace Medicine Grand
Rounds sessions, these board review sessions
will address the preventive medicine core topic
areas and the four required knowledge areas of
Aerospace Medicine: Flight Environment, Clinical Aviation Medicine, Operational Aerospace
Medicine, and Management & Administration.

Special Sunday Workshops
1. AIRCREW FATIGUE: CAUSES,
CONSEQUENCES, AND COUNTERMEASURES
Sunday 9:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M.
5 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM
This workshop will outline the importance of addressing fatigue as a danger in aviation, the basic
physiological mechanism underlying fatigue, and
the most common causes of fatigue in air transport and other settings. Ways to recognize fatigue
in operational environments and information about
the efficacy of various countermeasures, including specific information about countermeasure
techniques such as proper work/rest schedules,
adequate sleep, napping strategies, rest breaks,
circadian entrainment, stimulants, and others, will
be provided. Presented by Dr. John Caldwell and
Dr. Lynn Caldwell.
2. INTRODUCTION TO EPIDEMIOLOGY
Sunday 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.
8 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM
This course acquaints people familiar with statistics to the special application of statistics used
to analyze rare events. The principle topic will be
aerospace mishaps. While the topic is specific, the
course material includes most of the topics necessary for a thorough review of statistics and epidemiology for the Specialty Board examinations
conducted by the American Board of Preventive
Medicine. The course is oriented to professionals
in aerospace medicine, mishap analysis, aerospace psychology, aerospace physiology, flight
medicine, aviation medicine, aviation safety analyses, aerospace engineering, human factors engineering, and anyone else involved in the analyses
of aviation mishaps or rare events. The course will
cover data collection, validity, parametric analysis,
sampling, power, confidence intervals, errors, two
by two tables, causality, nonparametrics, and the
use of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention EpiInfoTM freeware. It will be taught from
an aerospace mishap analyses perspective. The
course will include 6 hours of classroom lecture by
members of the International Association of Military Flight Surgeon Pilots and 2 hours of guided
practice with problems taken from real life analyses. Learners must bring a portable computer
with the appropriate EpiInfoTM program for the
operating system loaded. Please note that EpiInfo™ does not have a Macintosh compatible option, so Apple products will not permit the guided
practice portion of the course to be completed. A
fully charged computer battery will be needed, but
WiFi access is not required.
The EpiInfoTM program
can be downloaded
from the
CDC web
site for
free.

Spouses Program
Fun Run
The WING of AsMA, a volunteer spouse organization, sponsors a program to share the cultural and
educational experiences of the host city with old and
new friends. There is a Hospitality Room, a Welcome
Reception on Monday, May 11, and a Luncheon on
Wednesday, May 13. Two tours are planned.
The first Richard B. “Dick” Trumbo Preventive
Medicine 5K Fun Run will be held Monday, May
11. Start time is 6:00 a.m. The fee is $10 and tickets must be purchased in advance.
Tuesday Tour to Leu House Museum
and Gardens and Scenic Boat Tour
Explore an amazing 50-acre botanical oasis minutes from Downtown Orlando. The museum, located in the heart of the gardens, reveals early 20th
century living for the families who once called this
home. Lunch will be on your own in downtown
Winter Park before we continue on to the Scenic
Boat tour. Located on Lake Osceola, less than 10
minutes from downtown Orlando, the boat tour offers hour-long, guided cruises through three of the
seven lakes and two narrow man-made canals on
the tranquil Winter Park chain. Participants may
observe cranes swooping waterside to snag a fish
or a lazy alligator languishing on a nearby bank,
swaying palms, towering cypress trees, lush ferns,
and a variety of flourishing sub-tropical flowers.
Breathtaking views of opulent private homes and
exquisite estates sprawling along the shores are
also a key feature of the scenic cruise.
Thursday tour to Historic
Bok Gardens
A historic bell tower is the visual centerpiece of a
magnificent garden and houses one of the world’s
great carillons. The meandering garden is one of
the greatest achievements of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. Acres of ferns,
palms, oaks, and pines, as well as seasonal azaleas, camellias, and magnolia. We will also tour
Pinewood Estates, a 1930s Mediterranean-style
mansion. We will have a one-hour docent-led
walking tour of the Gardens and a self-guided tour
of Pinewood estates. We will then have lunch from
the pre-selected menu while we listen to the carillon concert. This tour includes lunch.
CLIMATE FOR MAY
Mid-Florida’s subtropical climate has long been a
strong drawing card for tourists and residents alike.
At the heart of the “Sunshine State” the area’s average annual temperature is a comfortable 72.4°F
(in May the averages are 65°F to 87°F). But Floridians are known
to keep the A/C
on high, so bring
a sweater! There
is a 36% chance
of rain or thunderstorms, but it’s
always sunny in
Disney World!
Day Trip to NASA Kennedy
Space Center
