Continuing coverage: Two aerospace medicine residents at the UTMB are bound for the South Pole in a rotation through medical clinics operated by the UTMB’s Center for Polar Medical Operations. “For aerospace medicine, austere environments like Antarctica have always been considered an analog for space, says Dr. Tarah Castleberry, an assistant professor at UTMB’s Preventive Medicine and Community Health and a former flight surgeon for the U.S. Navy’s elite Blue Angels demonstration and aerobatic squadron, in a UTMB release. “It’s a great opportunity for residents to go and learn and see that environment.” Dr. Scott Parazynski, chief medical officer and director of the Center for Polar Medical Operations, observes that “this is a great example of the collaboration at UTMB. These residents have an opportunity to do some great research and experience daily the medicine they’re training for.”
