Hyperbaric Medicine

Benefits of Training

It is inescapable that training in hyperbaric oxygen therapeutics confers important academic and professional advantages to future physicians, immeasurably broadening and deepening their basic scientific foundations. Students enrolled in the Programs of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine experience the additional benefits of hands-on exposure to patients as early as the first semester of medical training and hence are greatly clinically advantaged as compared to most of their US-trained counterparts.

Program Goals

The Programs of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine deals with the therapeutic use of high environmental oxygen pressure and the prevention of injury and illness due to exposure to environments with elevated ambient pressure. The scope of the Programs is to emphasize occupational, environmental, safety, and clinical aspects of diving, hyperbaric chamber operations and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy.

Programs

SAICHS offers the following programs in hyperbaric medicine:

  • Masters in Hyperbaric Medicine
  • Diploma in Hyperbaric Medicine

Requirements for graduation from the Master's Program

  • the completion of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university,
  • the completion of the Required Courses (see table below), and
  • the declaration of referees that the thesis meets acceptable standards. The failure of all referees to deem the thesis acceptable may necessitate an oral defense.

Requirements for graduation from the Diploma Program

Identical for those of the Master's Program with the exception of the thesis-related activities.
