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.
