AAHC International

The global academic healthcare community is becoming more interconnected with much to learn from and offer to each other.  As science, education, health care, and the economy continue to evolve, health professions schools and their related hospitals and health systems are increasingly realizing the need to better align their functions within the academic health center.  This call for alignment offers the important opportunity for academic health centers to work together by:

Vision for AAHC International™

There is now a critical junction of need and opportunity for academic health centers to work in partnership worldwide, and, in doing so, be among the critical forces shaping the 21st century.  AAHC International™ seeks to mobilize and speak on the behalf of their collective strengths and resources to ensure that these institutions have a voice in international matters affecting health, research, and the economy, and, in so doing, help foster the concept of an international academic health center community driven by the ideal of improving the public good. 

As an organized group, academic health centers can address pressing needs in public health, patient care, health professions education, and biomedical and clinical research.  In addition, AAHC International™ can work with institutions to develop the organizational and management expertise that captures the power of the combined missions of the academic health center.
