The ATS Critical Care Assembly receives hundreds to thousands of fantastic case reports. In recent years, there have been concentrated efforts to improve the quality of these case reports with a standardized grading rubric, and increased recognition of top submissions. The national conference now hosts multiple poster discussion sessions, and an increasing number of traditional poster sessions each year. In this podcast, we highlight two of the very best case reports from the 2023 National Conference. Please remember to submit your case reports for the 2024 conference by 11/1/23. If yours is one of the top case reports selected, you could be on this podcast next year! If you are interested in a pre-submission review, we are offering case report review and editing to try to help those who are interested but may lack local mentorship. We will be prioritizing submissions from candidates who are international, from a community institution, and for whom English is a second language. We hope that this effort will continue to expand the pool of excellent case reports and provide more accessibility for those who traditionally face challenges in getting their work recognized.
