“Operational space medicine” is the term used to describe the clinical practice of a flight surgeon as that practice relates to the care of spaceflight crew members. It encompasses pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight activities. It draws upon the terrestrial disciplines of occupational medicine, wilderness medicine, and family practice and adds many unique aspects as described in this section (Bacal and Lemery 2007; Nicogossian and Parker 1982).
