“The Airways Disorders Network (and Pediatric Chest Medicine Section in particular) has allowed me to take a leadership role in a national organization in a way that I would not have thought possible at this early stage in my career. CHEST has provided me with an academic home and allowed me to network with physicians across the country that I may not otherwise have had the chance to meet. I look forward to continuing to work within the organization to strengthen the pediatric presence and taking full advantage of the many career development opportunities that CHEST offers.”
