International Airline Medical Association
IAMA serves as an international forum for physicians who wish to exchange information on problems relating to airline medicine, both through our yearly meeting and through networking opportunities to facilitate communications among physicians with related interests.
About Us
The International Airline Medical Association (IAMA), formerly known as the Airline Medical Directors Association (AMDA), was established in 1935 to create a collaborative forum for physicians employed by, or contracted to, international and regional airlines.

Mission
The Association’s mission is to promote excellence in aviation medicine by sharing knowledge and advancing best practices in the medical oversight of airline employees – including both aircrew and ground personnel – as well as offering guidance on passenger health and wellbeing.
This mission is realized through ongoing dialogue among members and the hosting of an Annual Scientific Meeting, held in conjunction with the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) . IAMA is proud of its enduring affiliation with AsMA, and membership in IAMA requires active membership in AsMA.
