By pursuing research relating to the medical aspects of flight, USAFSAM has provided pilots and astronauts with the necessary equipment and support to ensure their overall safety and health. In 1926, Brooks Field began its first association with the School of Aviation Medicine (SAM) when it moved from New York in order to support the Primary Flying School at Brooks Field. While stationed there from 1926 to 1931, the school trained flight surgeons as well as performed cadet physical examinations. SAM's brief but important tenure at Brooks Field served as a vital step in the development of aviation medicine and its contributions to pilot safety and training. In 1959, SAM again was relocated to Brooks AFB as part of an Air Force plan to concentrate its aerospace medical research facilities at one location.
