COMNAP continues to coordinate standardised health-and-psychological-screening protocols across national Antarctic programmes — particularly for overwintering roles. Multi-week deployment workups, psychological interviews, medical clearance ("PQ" — Physically Qualified — in US Antarctic Program language), and dental fitness are the near-universal pre-deployment requirements.
