Program

The CHEST 2012 Scientific Program Committee is planning a premier clinical education program in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. The program will draw from a rich education curriculum to offer more than 300 general sessions using a variety of instructional formats, including hands-on simulation, case- and problem-based presentations, small-group interactive discussions, and self-study opportunities.

Plans Are Underway

The CHEST 2012 Scientific Program Committee recently met to begin planning the clinical education program. It would seem that Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler were there. Check it out.

New and Enhanced Program Features

Opening sessions will feature thought-provoking discussions that will give you topics to ponder.
New sessions focusing on radiology will add depth to the education program.
Clinical Care-Focused Tracks, to be offered Thursday, October 25, will feature five clinically focused tracks, including antithrombotic guidelines (9th edition), bronchiectasis, COPD and asthma, critical care medicine, thoracic oncology/interventional bronchology.
