The key to improving the quality of cardiovascular care worldwide is through collaboration. And that collaboration can only be achieved through active, meaningful dialogues had by our members. Get involved by learning more about our ACC International Chapters.

ACC International Chapters

Throughout the past 30 years, ACC's international members and cardiovascular societies from around the world have expressed interest in establishing their own ACC Chapters. To be responsive to the needs of members outside the United States and to achieve its international mission, the College approved a policy in 2009 to allow the formation of ACC Global Chapters in close collaboration with national cardiovascular societies.

A country Chapter helps ACC better serve the needs of its members by:

• Providing a venue for members to meet and discuss issues relevant to the practice of cardiology in their home country and region.
• Offering leadership opportunities to all ACC members through their Chapter, workgroups, committees, or councils.
• Extending complimentary membership to physicians and CV team members under the age of 40 years old.
• Establishing a gateway into the country to ensure ACC's educational programs, research awards, observership opportunities, etc. are widely disseminated.
• Creating mentoring and networking opportunities within the cardiovascular care team, including cardiologists, nurses, pharmacists, techs, etc.

ACC currently has the following International Chapters:
