The ATS Fellows Track Symposium (FTS) at the ATS 2025 International Conference will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The 2025 FTS program is a two-day course (May 16 – 17, 2025) held prior to the ATS International Conference and will allow 200 adult and pediatric fellows in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine programs to attend a special course covering cutting edge topics in the field of respiratory medicine. Please note there is limited space, seats fill up fast.

• The FTS provides pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine fellows (adult and pediatric) who are enrolled in an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited (ACGME), training program with an orientation to the sessions most relevant to them at the ATS International Conference.
• The FTS will include faculty presentations on clinical issues related to the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep disorders, including IPF, COPD, lung cancer, asthma, and sleep apnea.
• The FTS will again include a pediatric track, which will include faculty presentations relevant to a pediatric career in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine (asthma in children, pediatric cystic fibrosis, and pediatric hypertension).
• This year the FTS will provide fellows with a skills-based program, highlighting ultrasound, bronchoscopy, awake fiberoptic intubation, and other.

The FTS will allow fellows to:

• Maximize educational experience of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at the ATS International Conference.
• Synthesize and discuss current and emerging trends in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
• Integrate up to date, cutting edge information into the diagnosis and management of clinical care pathways in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
• Interpret clinical implications of case studies reviewed during expert panel discussions.
• Enhanced core competencies in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine to improve patient care.
• Apply new skills, standard-of-care clinical behaviors, and evidence-based best practices in their daily medical practice.
