The Aerospace Medical Association’s 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting will be held in Atlanta, GA, USA. The theme for this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting is “Innovation: Journey to the Future.”
With emerging technology and new entrants into the aviation and space environment, it is now more important than ever to encourage the next generation of young people to consider entering career fields like aerospace medicine, engineering, aviation, maintenance, air traffic control, and remotely piloted vehicle operations, to name a few. To quote a staff member, “if a young person can’t see it, they can’t be it.” Many of our youth have no awareness of the career opportunities in aerospace medicine.
We need to be out in our schools and youth organizations telling our story. In addition, AsMA members will need to maintain a full awareness, and in many cases, a working knowledge of the innovations so we can better respond to needs of the aviation and space communities. The future will require us to think differently as the airspace system changes.
