Special Membership Programs (Trainee, Hardship)
First Time Trainee Members Join Free!
First-time domestic and international trainee members are eligible to join the ATS free for one-year. After this first year, Trainee membership continues at a low cost with most of the benefits and value of full membership until your formal training ends.
This special membership program welcomes trainees into respiratory, critical care, and sleep medicine within the ATS community. The ATS recognizes that trainees are the professionals who will achieve the next major advancements in the science and treatment of pulmonary disease, critical illness and sleep-related breathing disorders.
