The Education Committee provides ongoing assessment of ATS educational programs and coordinates the ATS Core Curriculum and the accompanying MOC portfolio. The Education Committee partners with other educational groups to develop new learning formats for the ATS and works to study the outcomes of the many educational offerings of the ATS.

Benchmarks, 2023-2024:
• Evaluate the 2023 Core Curriculum/Maintenance of Certification module program, report on key metrics and outcomes, and provide recommendations regarding enhancements of the initiative.
• Evaluate and adjust MOC portfolio to incorporate additional conference MOC offerings for ATS members.
• Develop the 2024 Core ATS Curriculum for Adult Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine, and Pediatrics in conjunction with the Core Curriculum Working Groups, which will be submitted to the appropriate specialty Boards.
• Audit the Fellows Track Symposium at the International Conference2023 with formal standardized evaluation forms and propose recommendations for future changes.
• Collaborate with the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Committee to maintain compliance with ACCME re-accreditation and maintenance of certification
• Support the development of ATS Scholar with regular submissions by the Education Committee including but not limited to the Core Curriculum and the Educational Consulting working groups.
• Develop, review, and update board review resources to launch on the new ATS e-learning platform.
• Nominate a diverse slate of candidates for ATS Respiratory Health Awards.
• The committee will be responsible for reviewing content it has previously posted to the ATS website to determine if it should be updated and moved to the new site or archived/deleted. Using parameters established by the ATS Digital Content Committee as a guideline, committee members will make necessary modifications to ensure the content is accurate and conforms with established ATS standards. Reviews are to be completed by December 1, 2023.
