Educational Program Proposal

The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) is a multidisciplinary society of over 15,000 members consisting of physicians in pulmonary medicine, critical care, cardiology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, and related disciplines. The members also include allied health professionals.

A popular request is for the ACCP to assist in the development and recognition of educational programs and products. This guide outlines the steps that must be followed in order for ACCP to act upon a request, as well as available resources to assist the application process.

The ACCP Continuing Education Committee (CEC) reviews all educational project proposals before making a recommendation for approval by assessing the following six areas:

  • Educational program proposal application forms are complete.
  • International applications have approval of the ACCP Governor within the proposed region.
  • Identified learning needs of the program fulfill educational goals of the CEC as indicated in the CEC Model Educational Content Outline.
  • Meet ACCP's core mission and educational mission statements.
  • Meet the current and projected educational needs of the ACCP members:
    1. physician's time;
    2. adoption of technology;
    3. financial considerations;
    4. and evidence-based medicine.
  • Meet financial goals as determined for the fiscal year.
