There are currently three different Types of APSR Educational activities

  • Educational Seminar of the APSR (ESAP)
    Local hosts will propose a theme and the APSR will provide expertise to develop the course, in conjunction with local experts as appropriate.
  • APSR-endorsed Educational Events (APSREE)
    Local/regional thoracic societies may host and organize educational events, and seek the support of the APSR as an endorsing society. The host can apply for the event to become an APSREE.
  • Joint Educational Events of the APSR with other societies (J-ESAP)
    The APSR or local host may propose to host joint educational events with other international societies (e.g. the ATS). The terms of reference for such joint activities will be contingent upon discussion and agreement between the APSR and the relevant societies. The APSR may consider supporting one or two faculty/speakers to represent the APSR in such joint activities.
