Editor's Note

by Adrian Maung, MD

Welcome to the edition of the Cutting Edge!

As we continue to adjust to these unusual times, we hope to provide you with useful information about the AAST. In this edition, you will find:

• The “News” section highlights both professional and personal updates on AAST members.

• Update from the Inclusion and Diversity Committee 

• Marc de Moya updates us on the international academic mentorship program from the International Relationship Committee.

• Call from the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery for the next editor. 

• Link for registration to a virtual event “COVID-19: What's Next” from the Society of Critical Care Medicine and AAST.

I hope you enjoy your issue of the “Cutting Edge.” Please send us any feedback or issues that you will like to see in the coming issues of the newsletter. (aast@aast.org)
