CHEST and other leading medical and scientific organizations joined an amicus brief to oppose NIH's sudden reduction in indirect cost funding for medical research grants. “This is not just a budgetary issue; it’s a call to action,” said CHEST President John Howington, MD, MBA, FCCP. “Disrupting NIH funding puts lives at risk and stalls scientific progress. We must advocate to ensure that the science guiding our clinical decisions remains timely and fully supported.” Read our statement: https://hubs.la/Q03yRLNr0

Long before the emergence of COVID-19, health care leaders were already sounding the alarm about the need for coordinated, multidisciplinary disaster planning.

In 2014, the journal CHEST® published a landmark supplement:
“Care of the Critically Ill and Injured During Pandemics and Disasters: CHEST Consensus Statement.”
This consensus outlined surge-capacity strategies and clinical guidance for managing mass critical illness—years ahead of the global pandemic that would test systems worldwide.

About CHEST

In 1935, Murray Kornfeld was a young man recuperating from tuberculosis when he conceived of CHEST’s mission: education, medical and lay, in tuberculosis and diseases of the chest. He envisioned a society of professionals with the knowledge and zeal to teach thoracic medicine to each other and their peers, and to create a journal devoted to diseases of the chest. Today, we are proud that the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) has transformed Murray Kornfeld’s dream into reality, building on his rich legacy of education, while continuing to publish the journal, now simply known as CHEST.

From the first meeting in 1935 to today, the CHEST Annual Meeting now attracts about 5,000 chest medicine professionals from around the world for clinical education in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. The event, held each October, offers an innovative and diverse program that leverages state-of-the-art technology, case-based interactive discussions with topic experts, and a variety of hands-on and simulation-based learning activities for the entire chest medicine team.

CHEST also offers year-round clinical education in a variety of locations worldwide, from live learning sessions at the Innovation, Simulation, and Training Center located at CHEST Global Headquarters in Glenview, IL, to CHEST World Congress events held in locations like Madrid, Spain, and Shanghai, China. In addition, the journal CHEST continues to grow in prestige, with an Impact Factor that ranks second among journals in Critical Care Medicine and third among Respiratory Systems journals.
