In order to do so, it is necessary to have an understanding of the appropriate medical standards. This book, authored by four leaders in clinical aviation medicine, provides guidance to AMEs and flight surgeons who must determine aeromedical disposition. It discusses the most common diseases and treatment modalities with particular emphasis upon their significance in an aviation environment. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A concise review of problems that aviators may face, September 11, 2005

By	Fly Guy (Fairchild AFB, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Aviation Medicine (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

This is a very good fundamental book on the basics of medical problems and their impact on aviators. As a flight surgeon in the Air Force, this book is a must have in my arsenal of knowledge. If you are a flight surgeon or in the field of aerospace medicine at all, this is a good book to have for reference. This book does not go into detail about diseases themselves, but rather the impact that they may have on individuals who fly on a regular basis. For a much more detailed, comprehensive approach to things I'd recommend The Fundamentals of Aerospace Medicine by Dehart.
