The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is helping the US Department of Health and Human Services identify relevant medical specialists to assist in relief efforts in Haiti.  At this time, only trauma surgeons, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, and others with experience and capability treating crush victims are sought.  However, as the need continues and evolves, other medical specialties may be required. 

Society members are encouraged to inform their colleagues with relevant expertise to consider volunteering.  More information can be found on the AAMC website.  The site provides information about how to volunteer and contains links to many resources and charitable organizations.  Society members who wish to volunteer but do not fit the current criteria are encouraged to check back at the AAMC website in the coming months for potential future opportunities
