UofA, Banner & SpaceX team up for first-ever space surgery training program

Arizona will host the first-ever space surgery fellowship thanks to a partnership between Banner Health, the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, and SpaceX. Traditionally, aerospace medicine has been preventative medicine, taking care of healthy astronauts and aviators before their missions. Currently, if there's an emergency in space, astronauts get brought back to Earth to be treated.
