The ATS 2024 Call for Input site is now closed. American Thoracic Society is planning the 2024 International Conference as an in-person program in San Diego, CA May 17-22, 2024.
HEALTH CARE EQUALITY AND GLOBAL HEALTH
The ATS is interested in expanding the International Conference education content on Health Disparities, Health Care Equality and Global Health. For proposals relating to clinical topics, the ATS asks proposers to consider speakers and presentations that address the following global health and equality issues:
- gender, race, ethnicity, and economical background
- risk and manifestations, treatment options, access to treatment, systemic hurdles to care delivery and reporting in pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine and sleep medicine.
BASIC SCIENCE CORE
In addition to the general call for proposals outlined above, the ATS is seeking proposals for the Basic Science Core. ATS will consider scientific symposia proposals covering the following topic:
- Multi-Omics to Mechanisms: Elucidating Pathobiology of Lung Disease
If your proposal deals with this topic, please be sure to mark it to be considered for the Basic Science Core track. Symposia covering this topic should be submitted to the appropriate Assembly.
Each proposal will be reviewed by the appropriate Assembly’s Program Committee, and if accepted, will be considered for the track by the International Conference Committee.
