One third of AACC's membership lives outside of the US and includes members from over 100 different countires. To help serve the global membership AACC partners with the IFCC and local organizations throughout the world to conduct eduational programing.
Through AACC’s philanthropic branch, the Van Slyke Foundation, AACC provides five year membership grants to those who could not otherwise have access to AACC. These memberships include AACC’s journal, Clinical Chemistry, and two division memberships. In addition, books and other educational resources are made available to grant recipients. These Gallwas membership grants are made possible by a generous contribution from Jerry and Sandy Gallwas, as well as other members.
AACC’s International efforts also include providing International Travel Grants to laboratorians outside of the USA so that they can attend the AACC Annual Meeting and partnering with other clinical laboratory organizations around the globe to help advance clinical laboratory science worldwide.
