Through his organization, Dr. Nates has been leading the pioneering efforts to establish Oncologic Critical Care as a new subspecialty and disseminate this knowledge worldwide. As the foundation for this objective, he has led and coauthored the first two comprehensive oncologic critical care textbooks, in both Spanish and English languages.

Throughout his career, Dr. Nates has occupied multiple leadership positions and received numerous awards, among them the Presidential Award for “Outstanding Achievement and Leadership for Elimination of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia” from the Department of Health and Human Services and the four leading Critical Care Societies in the USA in 2012, the “Bill Aston Award for Quality” from the Texas Hospital Association, and Distinguished Service Award in 2015, as well as many other research awards during his career. In 2018, for his contributions to critical care, the American College of Critical Care Medicine awarded him the title Master of Critical Care Medicine. The same year, for his international contributions to the development of Oncologic Critical Care, the Chilean Society of Critical Care and Emergency Medicine awarded him the title International Master of Critical Care Medicine.Dr. Kristen J.
