Claude first graduated as a mechanical engineer, obtaining a MSc in Switzerland, his country of origin.
He went on to study Medicine and moved to New Zealand, where he obtained FRNZCGP status as well as
a post graduate Diploma in Aviation Medicine and also Occupational Medicine. Holder of a commercial
pilot licence he has worked as part time flight instructor. He spent 16 years in his own general practice
at Rotorua. During this time he became involved in examining and assessing pilots for Civil Aviation
certification. He also held a 2/10 position at the local ENT department for some 8 years. Moving to
full time Aviation Medicine was a logical progression for him. He has been a Senior Medical Officer
with CAA since 2002 and also attends a weekly clinic at the Hutt DHB. He enjoys interacting with GPs,
running CMEs for aviation medical examiners, and the national, and at time international, dimension of
his job. He has a special interest in the certification of pilots with complex medical problems of all kinds,
and in human factors and their causal relationship to accidents.
