ATS Reading ListThis updated edition of the ATS Reading List includes articles published through March, 2007. We have added and removed a substantial number of articles and further refined the overall organization of the syllabus. An easy link to this site is http://www.thoracic.org/go/atsreadinglist.
The ATS Reading List was initially created to assist fellows and educators in identifying clinically relevant articles familiar to all “well-read” pulmonary and critical care physicians. It may also be of use to clinicians wishing to keep abreast of the latest developments and controversies shaping the practice of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. It is not, however, intended to serve as a “Best Evidence Guide” to pulmonary and critical care medicine or as a Board Review tool. Rather, the syllabus is dominated by articles that are either of historical importance or are currently shaping the debate over the standard of care. The selection of articles is based primarily upon literature searches and various “Year in Review” summaries. Feedback from readers has resulted in substantial improvements to the syllabus, and we welcome additional input from you.
