“Being recognized at the ATS 2025 Conference is not just an honor — it’s a clear indication that our approach to medical education is making a real difference at the bedside,” said Sara Thorpe, Senior Director of Educational Strategy at Medscape. “Our work continues to evolve in alignment with the needs of clinicians and the patients they serve.”

As the healthcare landscape grows increasingly complex, Medscape remains dedicated to bridging gaps in knowledge and practice, empowering clinicians across disciplines to deliver optimal care in pulmonology and beyond.
