Objectives of the Thomas L. Petty
Aspen Lung Conference
  • To provide an international forum for leading clinicians and researcher to exchange of ideas relating to clinical problems and research of the lung.
  • To fill a recognized need in a field where knowledge is doubling every five years.
  • To focus on a single topic, exhaustively reviewing it with significant time allowed for discussion.
  • To provide the stimulus and impetus to further research in pulmonary medicine.
