Why Should You Attend ATS 2011?
Because advances in science and
medicine are changing the face of pulmonary, critical care and sleep
medicine. Stay at the forefront of your profession by attending theAmerican Thoracic Society's 2011
International Conference, which will take place in
Denver, Colorado, May 13 to 18.
ATS 2011 is
the world’s premier conference for clinicians and researchers in adult
and pediatric pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. With more
than 500 sessions, 800 speakers and 5,700 original research abstracts
and case reports, attendees can sample a broad spectrum of topics so
that they can learn about developments in many fields, or concentrate
on pulmonary, critical care, sleep, allergy/immunology or other
specialty.
Each year, the leading
clinicians and researchers participate in symposia and present a
year-in-review sessions. Many attendees form professional networks that
they call upon later when challenged by a difficult case or complex
research question. In fact, a hallmark of the conference is its
collegiality. Attendees are diverse—they come from nearly a hundred
countries and represent dozens of medical specialties and research
interests—but they share the common goal of improving patient care.

ATS International Conference is that scientists and clinicians--some of
the best in the field--present findings and discuss clinical issues
side by side."
