Elevating Care Under Pressure: Medicine at the Crossroads of Safety, Compliance, and Performance
This year’s Winter Symposium will focus on the convergence of undersea, hyperbaric, and aerospace medicine through the lens of human performance, human factors, and risk mitigation. As operational demands grow in diving, hyperbaric, and aerospace domains, our symposium will explore how interdisciplinary approaches can protect, enhance, and sustain human function in extreme and unforgiving environments.
We will place a strong emphasis on lessons learned from accidents, near-misses, and system failures in diving, hyperbaric operations, and aviation, using these to drive improvements in clinical protocols, safety culture, and mission outcomes.
