The ATS prioritizes the development of continuous career development opportunities for members of all experience levels. For attendees of the ATS 2024 International Conference, there will be 14 comprehensive full-day and four half-day Postgraduate Courses covering essential topics in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
Postgraduate Courses are a convenient and practical opportunity for audiences from diverse backgrounds to get an in-depth overview of the latest guidelines and clinical practices. Postgraduate Courses provide hands-on, skills-based learning, as well as didactic lecture-based sessions. Participants will also participate in group tasks, learning new skills while providing an organic opportunity for networking.
“The Postgraduate Courses provide members an exciting and rare opportunity to gain in-depth experience in their preferred areas of interest,” said International Conference Committee Chair Debra Boyer, MD, MHPE.
Pre-registration and an additional fee are required to participate in any of the Postgraduate Course offerings, in addition to attendees’ overall conference registration. For attendees who do not register for the International Conference but only for a Postgraduate Course, an additional $60 will be added to the course fee.
Continental breakfast, lunch, and light refreshments will be served for the full-day courses.
