ATS is an international society with over 16,000 members dedicated to advancing the science and clinical understanding of critical illnesses, pulmonary diseases, and sleep-related breathing disorders. The ATS membership program is offered to physicians, nurses, researchers, respiratory therapists, and other professionals interested in the organization and its mission to study, prevent, and eradicate lung disease.
The program grants these professionals several educational and research benefits, including access to leading-edge publications and medical journals, such as the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and email subscriptions to the ATS News and the ATS Morning Minute. Members also receive discounted access to the Methods in Epidemiologic, Clinical, and Operations Research (MECOR) program, which prepares practitioners and researchers to plan and conduct industry-relevant investigations. Besides the MECOR program discounts, ATS members pay reduced fees for admission to the International Conference and when purchasing the Respiratory Medicine Book Series.
