ATS President’s Lecturers

HomeAboutConference History ▶ ATS President’s Lecturers

The President’s Lecture was established to provide a unique perspective on medicine and science from the vantage point of distinguished scientists, physicians, and academicians. As their messages would not usually be heard in the scientific sessions of the International Conference, this special forum has been provided for the benefit of ATS members worldwide.
