Qu'est ce la médecine aeronautique ?
Aviation medicine is a medical specialty that combines aspects of preventive medicine, occupational medicine, environmental medicine and clinical medicine with the physiology and psychology of man in flight. This specialty is concerned with the health and safety of flights and the people who fly, both crew and passengers, as well as the selection and performance of aviation license holders.

The Aviation Medicine Section works closely with UN bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international non-governmental organizations such as the Association of Aviation and Space Medicine (AMAS) and the International Academy of Aviation and Space Medicine (AIMAS). It also works in cooperation and consultation with the chief medical officers of the world's civil aviation administrations and the directors of airline medical services.
