    Hello, 

    As a member, BOD, and a member of the Inclusion, equity and diversity committee of the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care I want very much to make the world a little smaller by connecting with international members of color.  Hearing from members of AAMC from around the world provides us (in the US) broad perspectives on education....Neuroanesthesia education/care..... Anesthesthetic education/patient care..... leadership..... mentorship..etc.... thanks!

    Welcome to the AAMC Community, @Marie Theard! It sounds like you are seeking to connect with people of color at our AAMC member institutions who are of international descent, is that right?

    There are more than 1,200 people here on this platform from institutions across the U.S. and Canada, many of whom share your passion for diversity and inclusion. Thanks for starting this conversation! ​
