Welcome to the University of Central Florida College of Medicine’s Aerospace Medicine Program, designed to pioneer research, education, and clinical services in the rapidly evolving domains of aviation, space, and extreme environments medicine. With a multidisciplinary approach, this program is committed to advancing human health and performance in both space and terrestrial environments.

From cutting-edge research platforms responsive to our nation’s space program needs to the development of novel and multidisciplinary education programs, we stand at the forefront of this dynamic field. Strategically located near the nation’s major launch and landing facilities, our program collaborates closely with commercial spaceflight partners, government, and academia to address the most critical medical challenges of current and future space missions while shaping the next generation of aerospace medicine professionals.

As a university, UCF was born to support the space program and the College of Medicine is continuing that mission with its focus on aerospace medicine. Through research and education, UCF faculty and students are looking at how spaceflight affects humans – and bring those health discoveries to those of us on Earth.
