In the U. S. there are 23 recognized medical specialty boards. One of these is preventive medicine. Within preventive medicine there are three areas: Aerospace Medicine, Occupational Medicine, and Public Health/General Preventive Medicine. The preventive medicine specialties have a common core of required training including biostatistics, epidemiology, health services administration and environmental health. These, plus associated topics are covered during year one of training. Year two of training involves clinical rotations specifically tailored to the eye, ear, heart, lungs and brain, plus flight training to the private pilot level, and a Masters Degree research project for the required thesis. During year three the physicians in aerospace medicine practice full-time aerospace medicine in a NASA or other government laboratory or a private facility. To date, more than 40 physicians have received aerospace medicine training through the Wright State University School of Medicine program. Among these are physicians from Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Canada and Mexico. In addition to the civilian program at Wright State University, there are programs conducted by the U. S. Air Force and Navy. The Wright State program has been privileged to have officers from the U. S. Army, Navy and Air Force. A substantial supporter of the Wright State program is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and a strong space component is contained in the program.
在美国，有23个公认的医学专业委员会。其中之一是预防医学。在预防医学领域内有三个分支：航空航天医学、职业医学以及公共卫生/普通预防医学。预防医学专业有一个共同的核心必修培训内容，包括生物统计学、流行病学、卫生服务管理和环境卫生。这些内容以及相关主题在培训的第一年进行学习。培训的第二年包括专门针对眼睛、耳朵、心脏、肺部和大脑的临床轮转，还有达到私人飞行员水平的飞行训练，以及完成一篇必修论文的硕士学位研究项目。在第三年，航空航天医学领域的医生会在美国国家航空航天局（NASA）或其他政府实验室或私人机构全职从事航空航天医学工作。到目前为止，已有40多名医生通过赖特州立大学医学院的项目接受了航空航天医学培训。其中包括来自日本、澳大利亚、台湾、加拿大和墨西哥的医生。除了赖特州立大学的民用项目外，美国空军和海军也开展了相关项目。赖特州立大学的项目有幸迎来了来自美国陆军、海军和空军的军官。美国国家航空航天局是赖特州立大学项目的重要支持者，该项目包含强大的太空相关内容。
