The American Thoracic Society (ATS) is a non-profit medical society founded in 1905 and based in New York City, dedicated to advancing global respiratory health. It pursues this through multidisciplinary collaboration, education, and advocacy, supporting scientific discovery, professional development, and patient care. With a membership exceeding 30,000, the society develops clinical practice guidelines, hosts the International Conference, and publishes four peer-reviewed journals, alongside patient education and career resources. ATS serves clinicians, researchers, and other health professionals in respiratory medicine, as well as public health stakeholders and patients seeking information, by coordinating research, guidelines, and educational content. In 2026, the organization launched ATS NOW, an on-demand video learning platform to provide access to conference highlights and educational material anytime, anywhere.
