“We have great content and great speakers,” said Jess Mandel, MD, ATSF, chair of the ATS 2019 International Conference Committee.  “Plus, there’s a culture of intellectual inclusion at the International Conference, where you have people who are not yet finished with their training rubbing elbows with the leaders in the field and doing so with a shared passion about advancing science and health.”
