A quality educational meeting starts with a great slate of programs tailored to its audience, and CHEST 2024 is on track to offer the highest tier of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine education that attendees have come to expect from the CHEST Annual Meeting.
While planning for the meeting started with the open call for 2024 sessions at the conclusion of the CHEST Annual Meeting 2023, CHEST 2024 began to take shape when the schedule—and the curriculum chairs—came together. In mid-February, members of the Scientific Program Committee gathered in person at CHEST headquarters in Glenview, Illinois, to review submissions and solidify the schedule for the upcoming CHEST 2024 meeting, taking place in Boston, October 6 to 9.
Following CHEST 2023 in Honolulu, those planning for Boston were brimming with excitement to start planning a meeting closer to home. One event in particular that committee members are excited for will be a session dedicated to the “Black Angels,” the nurses who helped cure TB, featuring surviving member, Virginia Allen, and book (The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis) author, Maria Smilios. Because of the location, both Allen and Smilios will be able to join on-site in Boston and will bring with them, for the first time on public display, a curated selection of papers from Edward Robitzek, MD, courtesy of the Robitzek family. This collection will include records of TB treatment trials that forever changed the course of the disease in 1952.
In addition to this look into the history of chest medicine, the CHEST Annual Meeting 2024 will also feature the latest advancements in the field, including the anticipated hot topic of the meeting, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine.
“There [are] going to be a lot of hot topics covered at CHEST 2024, like bronchoscopy approaches, treatments for COPD,” said Gabe Bosslet, MD, FCCP, Chair of the Scientific Program Committee. “But if there was one that sort of was the outlier this year, I think it’s artificial intelligence and its use in pulmonary and critical care medicine.”
The sessions covering AI include its presence in medical education, as well as treating interstitial lung disease, chest infections, and more.
Beyond the latest in artificial technology, the CHEST Annual Meeting 2024 will feature more than 200 sessions covering eight curriculum groups with something for everyone in chest medicine:
- Airways Disorders
- Critical Care
- Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Vascular Disease
- Chest Infections/Disaster Medicine/Systemic Disease
- Interstitial Lung Disease/Transplant
- Interdisciplinary/Practice Operations/Education
- Lung Cancer/Interventional Pulmonology/Bronchoscopy/Radiology
- Sleep Medicine
The meeting will host topics for a wide range of experience levels (from those still in training to those who are years or decades into their careers) and welcomes all members of the care team. “These are not physician-centric issues, topics, or sessions. These are sessions that if you’re working around patients with pulmonary or critical care diseases, these are definitively for you,” Dr. Bosslet said.
With something for everyone—and for the first time ever in Boston—CHEST 2024 will not be a meeting to miss. Keep an eye out for registration to open in May, as early bird pricing will be available for a short time.
Dr. Danckers’ social media takeover
For an inside look into what happens during a meeting of the Scientific Program Committee, we invited member of the committee, Mauricio Danckers, MD, FCCP, to take the reins of CHEST social media to share his experience.
Dr. Danckers posted behind-the-scenes pictures of each of the curriculum chairs and teased a picture of the completed session schedule.
