How Can The Early Career Professionals Working Group Help Me?

“As a fellow and early career faculty member without a Pulmonary or Critical Care mentor, the Critical Care Assembly Early Career Professionals Working Group (ECPWG) provided me with a unique opportunity to meet and work alongside up-and-coming stars and established giants of critical care medicine. The networks formed through my eight years in the ECPWG established the foundation for meaningful involvement within ATS and productive research collaborations.” – Allan Walkey, MD, MSc, Associate Professor of Medicine

Critical Care Assembly Mentoring Program

 The Critical Care Assembly Mentorship Program will be in-person/virtual during the ATS International Conference. This program's mission is to create a supportive professional community to encourage the career development of the Critical Care Assembly members. To participate, please complete the registration questionnaire in the link below. Members can register as a mentee, a mentor, or both. Mentor/mentee matches are hand-selected based on information provided in the questionnaire. Participants will receive an email in early May about mentor-mentee matches with additional instructions. 

Application link:

Participants commit to a one-time meeting at the ATS International Conference. Ongoing mentorship beyond this one-time meeting is at the discretion of each mentee-mentor pair.

Early Career Professionals Database

We are creating a list of Critical Care Assembly members who self-identify as early in their professional careers. By participating, members can provide information about their experiences and interests as well as their goals for participation in the assembly. The purpose is to facilitate involvement in the assembly’s activities (including the annual conference), to improve mentorship matches, and to foster networking and collaboration.
