Flight surgeons working for the CSA are responsible for medically supporting astronauts before, during and after their missions.
Flight surgeons are doctors responsible for medically certifying, evaluating and supporting astronauts before, during and after their missions.“We’re involved in the medical certification of the astronauts,” he said, noting that astronauts need to complete detailed medical exams to ensure they’re healthy enough to take part in space missions. “We’re decreasing the risk of them getting sick during the mission because our medical infrastructure is very limited.
“If there’s a medical emergency, if they need anything, the internet connection on the space station now is fairly good so they can call us at any time on our cell phone or organize a Teams to discuss the medical issue that they have or to help out with the treatment of a fellow crew member,” Kuyumjian said.
After graduation, there were no jobs in the niche space medicine field, so he trained in family medicine and started working as a family practitioner in a remote area of northeastern Quebec. During that time, he was able to do courses on topics like space law, orbital science and rocketry with the International Space University, eventually being offered a flight surgeon position based out of Germany at the European Space Agency.
