Abstract
Space medicine studies health challenges related to human spaceflight, focusing on the physiological and psychological effects of altered gravity. As humanity plans settlements on the Moon, Mars, and beyond, understanding space medicine is crucial. Healthcare professionals must be trained to handle medical crises and mitigate health risks during space missions. However, there is a global gap in standardized training programs, particularly as space travel becomes commercialized. Space medicine advancements also benefit Earth, such as research on amyloid fibrils aiding Alzheimer's treatment. Barriers to space medicine education persist, especially in low-income countries, where programs are limited or costly. This chapter addresses these barriers and discusses efforts to ensure inclusive, comprehensive space medicine education for future missions.
