ACCP Self-study Clinical Library

Take advantage of additional learning opportunities at CHEST 2009, and complement the information presented in the areas of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Self-study stations, located in the hallway of the convention center, level 2, will feature Pulmonary and Critical Care Update (PCCU) articles from select lessons. New for 2009, there also will be mini-sessions developed from select CHEST 2009 topic submissions. These mini-sessions are executive summaries, which include a 5-minute PowerPoint presentation of key points on the topic, as well as references to cited literature. You can access the articles all day long to:

  • Expand your knowledge.
  • Earn up to 1CME credit for each lesson completed during CHEST 2009.

Look for the specially marked “ACCP Self-study Clinical Library” stations during the conference. CME credits for the self-study library are offered in addition to the CHEST 2009 CME. Additional non-CME resources also will be available.
