Aerospace Medicine


This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Aerospace medicine is a branch of medicine concerned with the physiological and psychological effects of living and working  in an environment beyond the atmospheric and gravitational forces of the earth. Microgravity and weightlessness are some major concerns in aerospace medicine.
