Committees
Through the efforts of dedicated committee members, the AST has continued to build upon the mission of promoting scientific initiatives, fostering professional education, and improving patient care. AST committees play an important part in furthering these goals.
All AST committees, advisory councils, and communities of practice are listed below. These groups are created by resolution of the AST Board of Directors.
