Bartolome Celli, MD
Bartolome Celli graduated from Universidad Central de Venezuela and came to the United States in 1971. He was an intern in Internal Medicine at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Worcester and completed his residency at the Boston City Hospital, where he was Chief Medical Resident 1975-76. He then trained in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine. Currently, he is Professor of Medicine at Tufts and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Celli is married, has 4 children and 10 grandchildren. The greatest achievement of his life is to have helped raise and educate citizens capable of contributing to make the world a little better. He is author of over 450 peer reviewed scientific papers and 390 abstracts and edited several books. Dr. Celli has been the Chairman of the Committee that established the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of COPD. In addition, he is in the Scientific Committee of the Global Obstructive Lung Disease initiative and currently serves in the Board of Directors of GOLD. He has also been Chairman of the Clinical Assembly of the ATS and President of the Massachusetts Thoracic Society and New England College of Chest Physicians. In the professional arena, although caring for patients provides him with unique pleasure, he believes his greatest achievement is to have personally helped mentor many young careers in Medicine. Ten Professors of Medicine, one Dean and two Vice-Deans of medical schools in the United States, Venezuela and Colombia are among the 65 individuals in whom he helped instill a love for the profession, a desire to generate new knowledge, and respect for our fellow humans and for the world at large. His trainees are located in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Japan and Latin America.

Courtney Broaddus, MD
After college at Duke University and medical school and residency training at the University of Pennsylvania, Courtney moved west to the University of California San Francisco for an academic pulmonary fellowship, and stayed. Research with Dr. Norman Staub on pleural physiology led to a basic rethinking of how pleural effusions form. It also led to an opportunity to rewrite a chapter in the 1st edition of Murray & Nadel’s Textbook of Respiratory Medicine and a career-long association with the textbook, of which she is now Editor-in-chief. She later studied pleural mesothelioma with an emphasis on in vitro 3D models. For 20 years, following her mentors Drs. John Murray and Phil Hopewell, she served as Chief of the Pulmonary Division at the San Francisco General Hospital and was proudest to support the dedicated, talented and diverse faculty. The ATS has been crucial for her career and for sustaining many friendships. From her first ATS (Miami 1984), when she presented a poster as a clinical fellow, til now, she has attended every meeting; and is extremely proud to have been honored by the society with the Elizabeth A. Rich Award and the Trudeau Medal. She and her architect husband Chuck live in SF and are fortunate to have two grown sons living in the Bay Area with their families. Now a Professor Emeritus, her current passion is to support the Murray & Nadel’s Textbook as a living, premier resource for the pulmonary community.
Who is the target audience?
Mid-Career ATS Members (or really any ATS member interested in a fun and energetic story about career ups and downs from a senior ATS member who has worked through them).
What are the anticipated benefits or goals?
These are personal and career development sessions geared towards ATS members who seek to learn about self-reflection, personal growth, empathy, and professionalism via a narrative medicine format.
Are these geared towards specific practice areas?
Yes and No. Diverse speakers who have exemplified perseverance are chosen from varying backgrounds, but stories may include aspects of medical education, clinical practice, leadership, mentorship (as mentee or mentor), scientific investigation, and even personal life. Ideally these sessions will reflect on major career transition points, balancing personal life events or obligations, and a hindsight view (key take home points) of each speaker’s own career decisions or pathways as they wish to portray their story.
Are there any rules to attendance?
Please be respectful, and engagement is encouraged. Each session will have a moderated Q&A period.
Please join us at the ATS SpeakEasy storytelling space, aimed at fostering innovation and collaboration, where narratives come alive, inviting ATS participants to immerse themselves in a space where every story has a voice, and every listener becomes a part of the narrative.
