Dr. Pachavit Kasemsap is a general surgeon and a United States Air Force veteran. An accomplished Medical Director and Healthcare Manager, Pachavit Kasemsap, MD, spent nine years as a flight surgeon, a critical role in maintaining the health of airmen.
Flight surgeons are medical specialists who work with Air Force personnel. These surgeons must master a set of skills above that of a typical surgeon since the men and women they treat are often exposed to challenging conditions that can have complex effects on their bodies. The job of a flight surgeon is to prevent, detect, and treat the many physiological responses that can result from those challenges.
Flight surgeons require an MD or DO, and they must complete an American Osteopathic Association-accredited program of specialty training. Further, flight surgeons must pass a course in aerospace medicine and complete a residency program. As commissioned officers, flight surgeons must complete officer courses as well and be board-eligible for aerospace medicine.
