American Thoracic Society
The roots of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) reach back to 1905, when a small group of physicians decided that the best way to improve care for tuberculosis patients was to share their experiences and discoveries. Today, the ATS has grown into an international society with more than 15,000 members who work to improve health worldwide by advancing research, clinical care and public health in respiratory disease, critical illness and sleep disorders.
