Program Overview:
The ATS Resident Boot Camp is a two-day course for internal medicine and pediatric residents (as well as chief residents and hospitalists). The goal of the Boot Camp is to prepare fellows entering an adult or pediatric pulmonary or critical care fellowship with the information, confidence and knowledge needed to flourish on the first day of fellowship. The course will include didactic presentations, small group breakouts and hands-on skill-based workshops. The Boot Camp recruits over 140 of the best faculty teachers from across the country. These clinician educators are the heart and soul of this very exciting course.
