The Patient Outcomes Survivorship, and Engagement Committee (POSEC) serves as a multidisciplinary team including cancer specialist and community representatives. Established in 2005, POSEC makes recommendations to improve enrollment and enhance the diversity of volunteers in AMC trials. The committee works to increase the visibility of the AMC, by promoting community awareness and health care provider education in all aspects of HIV-associated malignancies and by advocating for the recruitment of volunteers into AMC sponsored clinical trials. The AMC community representatives provide their input into all activities and initiatives based on their close contact with and knowledge of the HIV/AIDS community.
