Diaspora Bridge

A bridge between the U.S. and the Arab world in cardiology.

While AASC is American-based, it has naturally become a bridge for the global cardiology community. At ACC.25, AASC hosted medical students and interns from Jordan who traveled to Chicago to attend the conference and present research. Through opportunities like these, AASC contributes to global knowledge sharing and helps integrate international graduates into the U.S. cardiology community.
