We are approaching a new era in spaceflight. Commercial spaceflight is now a reality, NASA has plans to send humans to the moon, and SpaceX to Mars within the next decade. This means that YOU, as current medical students/residents, can be the future physicians needed to ensure the health and safety of space travelers. Learn about Space Medicine, what it entails, and how the challenges of microgravity affect human physiology. Led by Dr. Jay C Buckey, Geisel's very own astronaut physician from the Dartmouth Space Medicine Innovations Lab, this website and elective course provides students with an introduction to Space Medicine.
