As we find ourselves in September, I cannot help but dedicate my column to the upcoming CHEST Annual Meeting quickly approaching, October 6 to 9, in Boston.
If you haven’t yet been to a CHEST Annual Meeting, it’s an unmatched experience.
For those who have attended, there’s always something new to see. Every year is different, with the culture of the location guiding the way and new opportunities to network while engaging in activity. No matter how many times you have been, attending the CHEST Annual Meeting never gets old.
Leveraging CHEST 2024’s location, we’ll be hosting a Grand Rounds event days before the meeting starts with pulmonary and critical care medicine fellows from the regional Boston programs to learn from visiting CHEST leadership on a variety of influential topics. These fellowship programs held events like this prepandemic, so I’m truly excited we could help restart the tradition and give the local fellows an opportunity to interact with each other from both an academic and social perspective. Personally, I am very much looking forward to meeting and getting to know the fellows from the Boston area.
The meeting has a lot of notable opportunities lined up (see my official “President’s checklist”), including the third year of CHEST After Hours (Monday, October 7)—a unique storytelling event focusing on the humanities of medicine in partnership with The Nocturnists podcast. And for the first time in recent years, CHEST 2024 will feature a 5K run/walk (Tuesday, October 8) in support of CHEST philanthropy and its work to fuel breakthroughs, empower innovation, and drive toward a future where every patient’s well-being is safeguarded. I encourage you to register in advance of the meeting to secure your space and snag a souvenir T-shirt.
First thing Sunday morning (October 6), the meeting kicks off with the Opening Session where we will be celebrating the new fellows of the college (FCCP), honoring trailblazers in chest medicine, and welcoming this year’s keynote speaker.
This year’s keynote address will come from Vanessa Kerry, MD, who will speak on environmental issues and her work to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on health.
With so many things to look forward to, this meeting will be one to remember for all in attendance.
I look forward to seeing you in Boston,
Jack
