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.
