The September issue of AARC Times is now online. This is our big annual pre-congress issue, packed with information about the AARC’s 58th International Respiratory Convention and Exhibition November 10-13 in New Orleans, LA. Flip through the Advance Program that has information about some of the Congress sessions not to be missed to start planning your education/vacation.
Be sure to check out our cover story, which provides great insight into this year’s Jimmy A. Young Medalist. Bruce K. Rubin, MD, MEngr, MBA, FAARC, who holds dual degrees in medicine and engineering, has been a great mentor and friend to many respiratory therapists over the years. In the AARC Congress Opening Session on Nov. 10th, you will see why Dr. Rubin is one of the top cited pediatric pulmonary researchers today.
This issue also contains the Zenith Award ballot so you can vote for the companies that have provided the best products and services to you this year. Ballots must all be returned by Sept. 24th, so don’t delay.
Saving the best for last: The AARC Open Forum turns 40 this year! This original research mecca will have some great new investigations on exhibit, so be sure to drop in and soak up the knowledge that defines the profession.
