AF physician committed to pilot advocacy

U.S. Air Force Capt. (Dr.) William Hoffman, a neurologist, 59th Medical Wing Joint Integrated Clinical Medicine medical director, and aviation enthusiast is researching the barriers keeping aviation personnel from seeking mental health care. “Historically, aviators have experienced worry in seeking healthcare due to fear for what a change in health status would mean for their flying status,” explains Hoffman. “We are interested in building data-backed ways to change this paradigm to optimize both the mental health and medical readiness of our aviation personnel.” (Defense Health Agency photo by Jason Edwards).
