The ATS Resident Boot Camp is a two-day in person course for internal medicine and pediatric residents (as well as chief residents and hospitalists) scheduled for Friday May 17 and Saturday, May 18, 2024, in San Diego, California. The Boot Camp is for fellows who matched into a fellowship program for July 2024.

The goal of the Boot Camp is to prepare fellows entering an adult or pediatric pulmonary or critical care fellowship with the information, confidence and knowledge needed to flourish on the first day of fellowship. The course will include large and small group breakouts and hands-on workshops. The Boot Camp recruits the best faculty from across the country to teach at this course. If you are interested in teaching at the Resident Boot Camp, please contact Lauren Lynch (llynch@thoracic.org)

  • Acquire knowledge of basic techniques and principles of mechanical ventilation, airway management, and bronchoscopy (indications, techniques, and limitations).
  • Attain skills in vascular, thoracic, and pleural ultrasound image acquisition for ultrasound-guided procedures and diagnosis (pneumothorax, thoracentesis, line placement, right ventricular dilation/dysfunction, volume status).
  • Improve knowledge base in cardiopulmonary physiology.
