In my tenure as this past year as VP, I have the feeling that the membership president, I want to revisit the discussion from the is generally satisfied with SUSNFS. It appears people membership about what you want from this organization like the newsletter especially – and several members for the next few months, up ‘til about the Marine Corps have told me that is the main reason they belong to Marathon, then work on forming consensus that we will SUSNFS: for the information channel.

So, in my tour as president, I don’t expect the the membership, reaffirm plans or committees or teams membership is looking for major changes. Nonetheless, to assure we will follow through on this consensus. We here are my three goals for this year: (1) Dialogue and are a pretty spread-out group! So the discussion will discussion with the membership about what you want have to be done primarily electronically. We will try to from this organization, (2) Work towards meeting any set up a bulletin board on the SUSNFS web page.

As the famous disclaimer says, “these are solely the opinions of the author and do not represent the views of… [anybody else].” Our charter does say that the membership is limited to naval flight surgeons, and a few other unusual groups of naval aviation specialist doctors. Although in the past we have discussed expanding to include Aviation Physiologists and Aviation Experimental Psychologists, those professionals do have their own THE SOCIETY OF U.S. NAVAL FLIGHT SURGEONS P.O. BOX 33008 professional advocacy/representation groups. So in my NAS PENSACOLA, FL 32508-3008 opinion it is not exclusionary or inhospitable of us to http://www.aerospacemed.org continue to reserve membership in SUSNFS to flight surgeons. 1999-2000 SOCIETY OFFICERS The next points are certainly heavily tinged with Riley PRESIDENT philosophy and could be unappealing to some members. CAPT Terrence L. Riley We are a society of physicians, doctors. There are VICE PRESIDENT important values in taking care of patients that are CAPT Fanancy Anzalone central to our profession, and to the practice of aviation medicine. These values include a special relationship SECRETARY with a patient, which fundamentally differs from the LCDR David W. Gibson relationship with a customer or a client.

These elements of science have reproducible, mathematical, and deterministic BOARD OF GOVERNORS dimensions, and so accordingly they are not perceptual, RADM James R.

    Role of the Aeromedical Physician Assistant Chapter 16 ROLE OF THE AEROMEDICAL PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT Joseph (Buck) Eddins, APA-C, MPAS; Andrea N. Gonzalez, APA-C, MPAS; Seth A. Grubbs, APA-C, DMO, MPAS; Jeffrey D. Morgan, APA-C, MPAS; Eric W. Pelkey, BS, NRP, FP-C; and John Joe Peña, APA-C, MPAS, MSIR “There is a very interesting togetherness between medicine and aviation with which I have been fascinated over the years.” —Major General (Retired) Spurgeon Neel1 Introduction The aeromedical physician assistant (APA) is an essential member of the aviation medicine health care team. While an APA performs their duties under the guidance and supervision of the unit’s flight surgeon (FS), together they jointly manage the unit’s aviation medicine program (AMP). The AMP is supported by a multispecialty and multidisciplinary team to provide the highest quality of medical support to Army aviation operations. The APA is considered a subject matter expert with an intimate knowledge and understanding of aviation medicine. APAs are relied on by the command and the FS to assist with managing the AMP. They ensure compliance with aeromedical requirements and the various Army regulations (ARs) governing aviators and aircrew members. By doing so, APAs ensure the medical readiness of aircrew members, help prevent aviation accidents, and safeguard the execution of aviation operations.2,3 Aviation Medicine Team Structure The aviation medicine team (AMT) differs in the number of providers and medical specialties according to structure. A combat aviation 267 US Army Physician Assistant Handbook brigade will typically contain eight medical personnel in the AMT, whereas general support aviation battalions and other aviation battalions will have five medical personnel in the AMT (Tables 16-1 and 16-2).4 Providers in each medical discipline (except the combat medic sergeant and specialist) must complete aeromedical specialty training specific to their medical field before providing health care to assigned aircrew members.
