“We’ve gathered an outstanding group of experts to create a diverse lineup of speakers, encompassing a range of genders, races, ethnicities, institutions, and even countries,” said Clinical Year in Review Co-Chair Juliana C. Ferreira, MD, PhD, ATSF, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. “Our goal is to have a lineup that reflects the diversity within the ATS membership, including international speakers, to ensure representation from across the globe.”

While the target audience is pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine practitioners — from trainees to established clinicians in need of ongoing medical education — the program is also pertinent to researchers, educators, and administrators.

Dr. Ferreira will be joined by Co-Chairs Sara Auld, MD, MSc, Emory University, and Ayodeji O. Adegunsoye, MD, MS, University of Chicago.

These sessions and the International Conference are supported by an independent medical educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Johnson & Johnson; Merck & Co., Inc.; and United Therapeutics Corporation. All CME sessions have been planned and implemented in accordance with the Accreditation Criteria of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) and are free of the control of ineligible companies (formerly commercial interests).
