Patient Voices 9: From Disparities to Hope
The ATS has launched, “Patients Voices 9: From Disparities to Hope,” a collection of patient stories describing their treatment journeys with respiratory diseases. This year, the stories also highlight barriers to health care access as experienced by patients from minority populations.
ATS Patient Voices is an annual publication by the ATS Public Advisory Roundtable (PAR). Since 2001, ATS PAR has been a core component of the Society, representing patients and collaborating with the ATS to advance their shared educational, research, patient care, and advocacy goals.

Database for Basic and Translational Science Presenters
The ATS Working Group for PhD, Basic, and Translational Scientists has created a database of lung researchers, primarily junior, who are available to deliver virtual seminars.
You can use this database to populate open slots on your divisional or departmental seminar series to support these young scientists. You may also add your own name to the database so you can be contacted as well. This is a great way for our ATS community to support ongoing professional development of our junior members.
2021 ATS Innovations in Fellowship Education Program
The ATS is calling for all adult and pediatric fellowship training programs to submit abstracts showcasing innovative education work done within their pulmonary, critical care, sleep, or allergy training programs for consideration for the 2021 ATS Innovations in Fellowship Education Program. We are particularly interested in fellowship innovations involving reducing racial/ethnic disparities or improving diversity, equity, or inclusion.
Deadline: Dec. 16, 2020
Submit your abstract today! For more information, contact Lauren Lynch, director of ATS Education Programs.
We also encourage you to also submit your abstracts to the general ATS 2021 Call for Abstracts for consideration.
