Pediatric Resident Development Scholarship

Funding the next generation of pediatric pulmonologists and sleep physicians to attend the ATS International Conference is vital to the future of our specialties. We are facing a critical shortage of physicians and researchers to care for children with breathing and sleep disorders. The PRDS program provides a mechanism by which to support pediatric residents interested in fellowship training to attend the international conference. 

Your generous donation will allow us to fund ALL eligible residents interested in the PRDS, providing a mechanism to showcase the research, clinical accomplishments, advocacy efforts and educational opportunities the ATS provides.
