This state-of-the-art facility includes an auditorium, simulation rooms, education breakout rooms, and a wet and dry laboratory, so you and other members of your care team can come together for hands-on learning that helps you put the latest clinical advances into immediate practice. CHEST is an international leader in providing hands-on learning opportunities as the first medical society ever to receive accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare and holding Accreditation With Commendation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. CHEST courses incorporate our simulation education into Advanced Clinical Training Certificate Programs that you can complete to refresh or master your skills in critical care ultrasonography, bronchoscopy, airways management, mechanical ventilation, and critical care management. Each year, we hold our CHEST Annual Meeting, offering 5 days of clinical instruction with hundreds of sessions focusing on relevant pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine topics. We also offer board review courses annually to act as a filter to all the clinical information, helping you focus your study plan on exam-relevant material.

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.
