Annual Scientific Meeting of the AsMA

AsP Certification Exam (CAsP)
- The Council of the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA), acting upon recommendations of the Aerospace Physiology Certification Board, grants certification in aerospace physiology. Board certification in aerospace physiology was established by the AsMA to encourage the study, improve the practice, and elevate the standards of excellence in aerospace physiology. Formal Board Certification provides an avenue for professional and peer recognition in aerospace medicine, and is a worthy goal for members to attain.
- The certification examination is offered at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association in May of each year. The exam historically is administered on the Sunday at the beginning of the meeting week.
- Eligible candidates interested in taking the board certification exam should begin study and review no later than the application deadline in March. Group study is encouraged. A balanced knowledge of human physiology is essential.
