Assembly Apprenticeship Programs Accepting Applications!
The ATS Assembly Apprenticeship Programs are designed to provide early career assembly members with an opportunity to get a "behind the scenes" look at the operations of the Planning and Program Committees. Under the mentorship of a committee member, apprentices will develop skills for evaluation of abstracts, and the development of committee projects, and may even be able to graduate into full Committee membership in the year following apprenticeship.
Currently, 12 ATS Assemblies are offering Apprenticeship Programs:
Allergy, Immunology & Inflammation (AII)
Behavioral Science and Health Services Research (BSHSR)
Clinical Problems (CP)
Critical Care (CC)
Environmental, Occupational and Population Health (EOPH)
Nursing (NUR)
Pediatrics (PEDS)
Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR)
Pulmonary Infections and Tuberculosis (PI-TB)
Respiratory Cell & Molecular Biology (RCMB)
Respiratory Structure and Function (RSF)
Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology (SRN)
For more information contact Nicole Feijoo, Assembly Programs Coordinator.
Deadline: Jan. 15, 2020.
Reminder! 2019 MOC Deadline Approaching
Visit the ATS Store to view the MOC packages for pulmonary, critical care, sleep, and pediatric specialties to help you stay certified and meet the ABIM MOC requirements by Dec. 31. MOC resources are free for ATS members.
As a reminder, physicians must earn 100 MOC points every five years and pass an assessment by the deadline. Not sure of your status? Go to the physician portal at abim.org.
Deadline Approaching! ATS Assembly Challenge
Each assembly has just until Dec. 31, 2019 to show their assembly pride by donating to the ATS Foundation. At the end of the challenge, three assemblies will be named winners:
- The assembly who raises the highest dollar amount.
- The assembly with the highest member participation rate.
- The assembly with most first-time donors.
Can your assembly raise more than reigning champions, Allergy Immunology and Inflammation? Or present a more united front than the Nursing Assembly, who had the highest percentage of donors last year? Will your assembly introduce the Foundation to newer members, and beat RCMB for first-time donors?
No matter which core ATS mission-related programs inspires you, any gifts made to the ATS Foundation between Dec. 3 and Dec. 31 count toward your Assembly Challenge progress!
