Global Webinar on Guidelines

Clinical Practice Recommendations

The AATS is proud to partner with the ASCVTS, EACTS, ESTS, LACES, and STS to present this informative webinar on the best practices regarding the development of clinical practice recommendation documents. These documents, such as clinical practice guidelines and expert consensus documents, are critically important to develop standards for procedures and provide guidance to medical professionals around the world. It is our goal to help inform individuals who are asked to participate in the development of these documents on what to expect, defining the process, and how to navigate conflict if/when it arises.


This webinar covers the following topics:

  • Presidential Introductions & Goals
  • Types of Clinical Practice Recommendation Documents
  • Structure and Processes
  • Writing Group Dynamics
  • Closing Remarks
