The AASM Foundation is excited to be attending ATS 2024 in San Diego! Come visit us at booth # 923 in the exhibit hall which opens Sunday, May 19. Our booth is located right next to our friends at CHEST in booth # 921. When visiting our booth, be sure to mention, “I am a sleep champion,” and you will receive a special gift.
Twelve abstracts that received AASM Foundation funding are being presented at ATS 2024. Our grant recipients names have been noted in bold, and we hope you will be sure to attend the following sessions:
