Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Aeroespacial (SBMA)

The Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Aeroespacial (SBMA) is Brazil's nonprofit professional and scientific society for aviation and space medicine. Reconstituted in 1989 from earlier Brazilian aviation-medicine bodies, it connects physicians, other health professionals, aircrew, aviation workers, safety and accident-investigation specialists, regulators, educators, and researchers. SBMA advances aeromedical and space-health knowledge through scientific exchange, professional education, national certification activity, conferences, research communication, human-factors and flight-safety work, and guidance on the health of crews, passengers, patients, and spaceflight participants.
