As the FAI Medico-Physiological Commission (CIMP) celebrates 100 years at the service of aviation medicine, its President Marja Osinga-Meek shares the latest news from the Bureau. A key topic is the recruitment of new members, whether they are specialists in physiological or psychological medicine.

Why is it important to make CIMP better known to the Aviation Medicine community?

The year 1922 saw the first meeting of CIMP, the FAI Medico-Physiological Commission. Its mission was – and remains to this day – to enhance flight safety. By the study of medical and physiological factors that influence human performance and behaviour in the air sports environment, CIMP members contribute to making aviation safer for all involved.
