Why AAHC/I is Unique
- AAHC/I is global. It supports the senior leaders of academic health centers around the world.
- AAHC/I represents more than medicine.

- AAHC/I member representatives are the key decision-makers at their institutions. AAHC/I programs and policies are responsive to the senior leadership of academic health centers.
- The focus is on the future. AAHC/I leads its members in anticipating where healthcare, science, and education will progress in the 21st century and provides guidance to be successful in the highly transformative healthcare environment. AAHC/I brings a uniquely strategic, integrative, multi-professional and multi-disciplinary perspective to consideration of the health-related challenges facing the U.S. and health systems globally.
