wow I never knew aerospace medicine existed! I want in too!


Me either

"Aerospace Medicine, as a broad field of endeavor, offers dynamic challenges and opportunities for physicians, nurses, physiologists, human factors specialists, psychologists, bioenvironmental engineers, industrial hygienists, environmental health practitioners, and other professionals. Those in the field are dedicated to enhancing health, promoting safety, and improving performance of individuals who work or travel in unusual environments. Areas of interest range from space and atmospheric flight to undersea activities, and the environments that are studied cover a wide spectrum, extending from the microenvironments of space or diving suits to those of "spaceship Earth."

Aerospace medical practitioners serve flyers, passengers, space travelers, air traffic controllers, patients transported by air, maintenance crews, and even mountain climbers and undersea workers. The problems and challenges these people face are quite different from those faced by individuals who live and work only on the surface of the Earth. The unusual nature of aerospace medicine's needs requires that practitioners have unique expertise. Specialized education in any of aerospace medicine's diverse facets enables professionals to develop and apply their capabilities. The diverse and expanding opportunities in the field make a career in aerospace medicine unusually attractive for health professionals."
I want to be told I should do aerospace medicine! Gastroenterology seems boring in comparison :emo:

Gastro's one of the more exciting medical speciality, especially when the red stuff comes out the top whilst the black stuff's coming out the bottom.

Aerospace medicine is just occy 'elf writ small.
Hands up who's going in for placement tomorrow?

Can't decide whether the brownie points are worth it....none of my housemates have come back yet and I'm all alone!

Are those of you who are applying to intercalate now planning to start in September 2011? I'm hoping to intercalate after 4th year (sept 2012) so I think I've got a while. I would absolutely love to be somewhere in London, I am so homesick for it. Nice as the south west is I've had enough already. :colondollar: And I want to live at home and not pay rent. Does the topic we chose to intercalate in have any affect career wise? I found something I like the sound of in haematology but I don't want to do that as a career. Becca-Sarah that surgery and anaesthetics course at Imperial sounds awesome but I'm scared by the competition.

Yup, kinda scared by the looming deadline! Apparently the topic you pick doesn't affect your career, only the points/publications/presentations you get from it, but the more interested in it you are the better you're likely to do, i would have thought... Yeh the 5/55 entry rate for Imperial sounds awful, but at least they have special places for externals - the others im applying for don't quote admissions rates or anything.

I have the bottem 2 as PDF, the orthopaedics and related research one, I can see it but theres a gap in the subscrption so I cant download it. The JCN one, Wiley is broken and the journal site itself is useless and slow.

Give me somewhere to send the other 2 if you want them :smile:

Apparently I've given out too much rep in the past 24hours (there's a first!) but thank you so much guys! Now to critically analyse the bloody things whilst at work tonight...
This brought a smile to my face. :h:
Exams over! Now to go drink beer and play games.
