About the Course

Have you ever wondered what it would take for humans to travel beyond the comforts of our home planet, Earth? You are invited to join us in Space Medicine - an online experience facilitated by two recent Duke graduates in which you will learn about and engage in the most pressing medical challenges facing NASA and others advancing the future of space exploration. Space Medicine is a free, non-certificate course featuring interactive modules and weekly live discussions. Participants will reflect on questions pertinent to the future of human health in space, such as: - How do humans respond to extreme environments? - How can engineers, doctors, and scientific researchers come together to prevent space related health issues before they occur? - If future generations of humans attempt to live in space, what challenges will they face? - Which evolutionary adaptations to living on Earth are useful to surviving a months- or years-long voyage? No prior experience in science or medicine is required, as life science concepts will be introduced as necessary. At the end of the course, you will have gained valuable experience in applying modern medicine to space-based situations, from space flight to journeying to Mars....

I think it was very good as an introduction to space medicine. At the end of the course it would be good to have a few pointers on where to go next or suggestions to a couple of things to read next

Great !!! Going through the classes i was astonished to know the knowledge of science and medicine relevance to the space. The fundamentals of physics, chemistry and biology were explained in simple manner to understand. Thanks to introducing to me this course. My outlook to space medicine has expanded. It also taught me how the mother earth is protecting all the living beings. Importance of gravity, atmosphere etc. which looked very obvious but how necessary for us to have life on earth. Thanks once again to the professors and staff. The guest lectures were awesome and interesting and knowledge enhancing. Regards
