Why be part of the Assembly on Clinical Problems?
Within ATS, there are several Assemblies, based on clinical interests. The purpose of an assembly is to improve the collection, interpretation, and dissemination of information, improve communication among the members, and participate in the planning of the International Conference. Assemblies are also responsible for creating and updating ATS Statements and Position Papers. The Assemblies are responsible for driving the programming and content of the annual International Conference. Joining and participating in an assembly is one of the best ways to become involved in ATS.
If you did not join the CP Assembly when you joined ATS, you can do it at any time via the ATS website Verifying your membership status, as well as primary and secondary affiliations, is now quick and easy to do online! The Member Profile Update form is safe and secure, and your updates will reflect in our database one hour from the time of your submission. You may access the form via the ATS website.
Ph.D. and Basic and Translational Scientist Working Group
The mission of the ATS Ph.D. and Basic and Translational Scientist Working Group is to advocate for science and discovery by promoting basic/translational research throughout all channels of the ATS.
We are committed to highlighting and supporting basic and translational scientists, with a particular focus on the unique perspectives and contributions of Ph.D. scientists, to enhance and promote the overall ATS mission, driving innovations in global health by advancing scientific discoveries, enhancing patient care, and strengthening public health via research of pulmonary disease, critical illness, and sleep disorders. Ph.D. and basic/translational scientists bring indispensable skill sets to tackle important scientific challenges and are a critical component of the overarching ATS goals to further scientific discovery.
