The AAST International Relations Committee: Fostering education, scholarship, research and partnership
Since its founding in 2011, the International Relations Committee (IRC) of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) has promoted global collaboration and knowledge exchange across the international acute care surgical community. Its efforts have expanded global engagement and diversity in scholarly activities within the AAST. This paper reviews the IRC's history, initiatives, and achievements, highlights current opportunities, and outlines future plans to further advance international dialogue, knowledge sharing, and education in acute care surgery.
