ATS COVID-19 Resources
The COVID-19 epidemic and associated precautionary measures have been a major source of concern over the last several weeks and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
The health, well-being and safety of patients and faculty are our utmost priority. With that in mind, the ATS has put together several resources for your reference.
In addition, we hosted a Twitter Chat last week with W. Graham Carlos, MD, MSCR, ATSF (@GrahamCarlos), Michael S. Niederman, MD (@michaelnieder33) and Kristina Crothers, MD (@kriscrothers), discussing COVID-19. Please see the archive here. Follow us @atscommunity for more information on upcoming chats.
Look for other resources as they become available in our newsletters, social media platforms, and website.
