Registration Form | Aeromedical Certification Principles for Health Professionals Course | Sydney

The Aeromedical Certification Principles for Health Professionals Course will be held on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September at The Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport.

This course serves as a comprehensive introduction to aerospace medicine, including the aeromedical certification of pilots and air traffic controllers. It is designed for all health professionals across various disciplines who treat aviation personnel. Prior exposure to aviation medicine is not required.

This professional short course introduces the specialty area of aerospace medicine and provides an overview of the process of aeromedical certification of applicants for a CASA Aviation Medical Certificate. It includes the environmental physiology of flight, the operational aspects of flying, the medical regulatory system, the impact of clinical conditions on flight safety and fitness to fly from both an aircrew and passenger point of view. It will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills required to critically evaluate medical conditions and environmental stressors and advise on fitness for flight.

This course does not qualify you as a Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DAME); however, for non-GP specialists, completion of the course will entitle you to be listed with CASA, who might call on your expertise in future for complex certifications. More information about initial DAME training can be found here .

The course is also appropriate for GPs who want to get involved with pilot medicals but who have been unable to register for the 8-day DAME Training Course, for GPs wanting to do Basic Class 2, RAMPC and Class 5 Medicals and for GPs who look after pilots but who don’t undertake a DAME function. It is also appropriate basic training practice nurses who assist DAMEs with aviation medicals.

Developed collaboratively with CASA, this course promises a thorough exploration of the vital principles underpinning aerospace medicine, ensuring a safer sky for all.

Registration includes all course materials, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

All prices are quoted in Australian Dollars and include 10% GST.
