Dear Colleagues,

As we already look forward to this year’s conferences, I am thrilled to reflect on last year’s successful events - Challenges of Airline Medicine, in Chicago on May 4th, chaired by my predecessor Dr Vincent Feuillie, and the 2024 Aviation Health Conference that I had the privilege to chair on 7-8 October in Lisbon. Both IAMA hallmark annual events were very well-attended and prompted stimulating airline medicine specialist discussions. Thank you to all who participated in either or both meetings!

The International Airline Medical Association

Providing excellence in medical support for international and domestic airlines and their passengers The International Airline Medical Association (IAMA), formerly known as the Airline Medical Directors Association (AMDA), was established in 1935 to create a collaborative forum for physicians employed by, or contracted to, international and regional airlines.

The Association’s mission is to promote excellence in aviation medicine by sharing knowledge and advancing best practices in the medical oversight of airline employees - including both aircrew and ground personnel - as well as offering guidance on passenger health and wellbeing.

This mission is realized through ongoing dialogue among members and the hosting of an Annual Scientific Meeting, held in conjunction with the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) . IAMA is proud of its enduring affiliation with AsMA, and membership in IAMA requires active membership in AsMA.

IAMA stimulates and fosters mutual help and friendship to all involved in providing medical, psychological and occupational health advice to airlines.
