Default Aviation psychology

I'm completing a B.S. in Psychology, and concurrently my flight training to become a pro pilot. I happen to think both fields are great, and am toying with the idea of integrating the two in my career at some point.

I'm curious about how one goes about becoming an aviation psychologist. I'm sure grad school would be in order, but is there even such a thing as an aviation psychology grad program?

I realize this isn't a medical question, have a good recommendation on a book or web site where I can find out more about it.

Thanks!

You will probably need a PhD to excel in it. Here is a lionk to the participants in the 14 International Symposium on Aviation Psychology this year. It will provide you with many contacts.

Good luck.

Thanks, Doctor! Guess I've got plenty more years of classroom time ahead of me, if I take that route. Good think I like school.
