AATS Week 2017 is fast approaching, and we hope you are planning to participate in the wide variety of educational opportunities available across all areas of thoracic surgery.

The week opens with the two-day AATS Mitral Conclave, which will be held on Thursday, April 27, and Friday, April 28, in New York. You will have the chance to attend an exceptional program created by Director David H. Adams, MD, and the program com ntations, expert technique/video sessions and breakout sessions.

Following the Mitral Conclave, the cardiothoracic community will travel to Boston for the AATS Centennial from Saturday, April 29, to Wednesday, May 3. We aim to create a once-in-a-lifetime event for every member of the surgical team as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first association dedicated to the advancement of thoracic surgery.

As we look back on the last 100 years and enter our second century as an Association for Thoracic Surgery, the 2017 meeting will provide again, as it always does, an extraordinary variety of educational opportunities across all areas of our specialty. The meeting’s theme of “Always Learning” is a testament to the drive for lifelong learning among attendees, and we commit to making certain that your time is well spent.

The meeting will include many of the most popular program components, including Saturday’s skills courses and Sunday’s Postgraduate Symposia. Saturday will also include hands-on sessions, the well-received Member for a Day Program as well as Survival Guide: Your First Night on Call. The abstract presentations were selected to provide you with new insights that are applicable to your practice and that benefit your patients as well as encourage rich discussions inside and outside of the sessions.

In addition to the programs with which you have become familiar, a number of sessions will be of interest to all members of the surgical team. The Association has long recognized the essential nature of a multidisciplinary approach to care of the cardiothoracic surgical patient as is reflected in the organization’s original membership roster, and the more recent addition of a postgraduate symposium for the Interprofessional Cardiothoracic Team. As always, we look forward to participation from nurses, perfusionists, anesthesiologists, and others in the program and as faculty. This year, we have taken another step forward by holding our meeting in conjunction with the American Society for ExtraCorporeal Technology (AmSECT) 55th International Conference.

It is fitting that we are holding such a historic meeting in a city like Boston, where you will be able to experience the city’s rich culture and history. We have planned a variety of special events and features in honor of the Centennial anniversary of the founding of the Association for Thoracic Surgery. I would like to thank meeting Co-Chairs, Robert D. Jaquiss. MD, and Bryan F. Meyers, MD, for their work to make this meeting represent the highest caliber in promoting leadership, scholarship, mentoring, excellence in patient care, integrity, and professionalism.
