When your sessions are at the same time, mentorship requires comfy shoes. So proud of Dr. Beth Atoma presenting her research on improving mechanical ventilation in LMIC. She's going to crush it in fellowship next year. #ats2024 @ATS_BSHSR @MPLS_CCDOR @UMN_DOMResearch

Lung cancer in people who have never smoked is rising. Today we asked "Is it in the air?". Vaping, cannabis, air pollution, and more. What an amazing group of speakers. @atstoa @atscommunity #ats2024

why am I conducting shared decision making for #lungcancer screening through the passenger window of a van? 🤔 come to my poster board P886 from 11:30 - 1:15 today to learn more about Indigenous community based approaches to increase 🫁 screening #ATS2023 @atstoa @ATS_BSHSR
