Horace DeLisser, MD, associate dean for diversity and inclusion in undergraduate medical education at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and associate professor of medicine in the pulmonary, allergy, and critical care division, looks forward to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) international conference to reconnect with friends and colleagues and stay up to date on clinical knowledge and controversial topics.
This year’s American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference will spotlight not only the latest research in respiratory medicine, but also timely themes such as minority health equity, the effects of climate on health, and reducing gun violence through advocacy.
The annual meeting of the American Thoracic Society will showcase the latest research in pulmonary care, critical care, and sleep medicine in clinical and scientific sessions, posters, and seminars.
Minority students are exempt from taking the MCAT when applying for Penn's Medical School if they participate in a summer research program, according to the website.
