SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco, the City by the Bay, plays host to the American Thoracic Society 2022 International Conference (ATS 2022) beginning Friday and running through May 18.
For the first time in 3 years the meeting will feature in-person sessions (with appropriate COVID-19 precautions, of course), as well as online sessions in the now-familiar hybrid format.
"I am looking forward to seeing people in person, without a square box on a screen around them," said outgoing ATS President Lynn M. Schnapp, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison.
"I did my fellowship training in San Francisco, so it is a homecoming for me to be there and see the people I trained with. I've been at a variety of different institutions over my career, so I've made great friends all around the country, and ATS is always the time I get to see everybody and catch up. It's been too long," she said in an interview with Medscape Medical News.
