The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) announced today at
its CHEST Annual Meeting in Austin that CHEST World Congress 2016 will
be held in Shanghai, China, in April 2016. Clinicians specializing in
pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine from around the world are
expected to participate in the event, offered with support of the
Chinese Thoracic Society (CTS).
Delegates who attend CHEST World Congress 2016 in Shanghai will participate in a variety of educational experiences ranging from hands-on simulation training and keynote addresses to presentations by leading health-care experts and reports on the latest research in chest medicine.
“We are pleased to announce Shanghai, China, as the location of our
next CHEST World Congress,” said Paul A. Markowski, executive vice
president and CEO at CHEST. “We expect that this congress will attract
clinicians practicing in China, across the Asia Pacific region, and
throughout the world who will benefit from the educational and clinical
resources CHEST delivers to help improve patient care.”
“We are already working to make CHEST World Congress 2016 in Shanghai
bigger and better,” said Michael H. Baumann, MD, MS, FCCP, president of
the American College of Chest Physicians. “This CHEST World Congress
will complement the launch last summer of our pulmonary and critical
care fellowship training program in partnership with the Chinese
Thoracic Society. The first graduates will complete their training in
the summer of 2016, shortly after our World Congress.”
“This program will offer the great clinical science our clinicians
have come to expect from CHEST and will be easily accessible for our
global community,” added Darcy Marciniuk, MD, FCCP, CHEST World Congress
2016 program co-chair. “We look forward to a robust congress with
opportunities for networking, our signature simulation education, as
well as presentations by international thought leaders in pulmonary,
critical care, and sleep medicine.”
