The ATS Clinical Cases are a series of cases devoted to interactive clinical case presentations on all aspects of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. They are designed to provide education to practitioners, faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students in the areas of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine.
Currently, we are not accepting new cases for this series, as there are several other venues for publishing cases. For cases that can be written as brief, image-based quesitons, consider submitting them as to Quick Hits. For other cases, please contact your assembly web director regarding other opportunities to publish or highlight cases.
