Spanish term

AACC

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
The document contains a list of proposals from a certain Research Commission to improve the clinical research at the Spanish hospital in question. This is one of them:

"Hacer un control mas exhaustivo de los AACC para optimizar los esfuerzos, dando prioridad a los que tengan mas interés científico."

"Asuntos clinicos"???



Any help appreciated!

"Then again it might be Autonomous Communities...."

....which abbreviated in Spanish are CCAA, I'm afraid.

Your probably right, the Spanish are (in)famous for using non-standard abbreviations.

Then again it might be Autonomous Communities or Clinical Associates (Asociados Clinicos) etc.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Andy Watkinson : Hi David. I also saw the same reference, but in the original Spanish it refers to "los AACC" not "la AACC" which is what you would expect were it to refer to an Association.. i.e. I don't think it's the initials of an Association, but a Spanish plural.

agree Claudia Palmier : David, I also thought on the same the same translation (Chemistry not chemists), but despite this, the original text in Spanish mentions "los AACC". So, I don´t know if the " American Association of Clinical Chemistry" is suitable.
