"As a Respiratory Therapist, the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), and it’s Allied Health NetWork afford me a venue to learn, teach, and network with pulmonary medicine professionals." (Alan Roth, RRT) more>
"It’s not enough in this age of rapidly changing medicine to just sit back and observe. One way to make sure you know the latest medical facts and evidenced-based medicine is to become an Allied Health Member of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP)." (Gerilynn L. Connors, BS, RRT) more>
"I would encourage any respiratory therapist, nurse, or other allied health professionals to join the ACCP, to enhance their continuing education opportunities, and to develop a broader view of clinical practices in their chosen field."

"I have been a Physician Assistant (PA) for 20 years. My entire career has involved caring for patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. My practice involves direct patient care of individuals with lung malignancies and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I have had the honor to work with many member physicians from ACCP over the years."

"In many ways, my career has been a succession of happy accidents. One of the most notable of these serendipitous occurrences happened 28 years ago, when I found myself working for Richard S. Irwin, MD, FCCP. He was, at that time, the Director of Pulmonary Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. One of the perks associated with my position as an Intensive Care Specialist there, was being able to accompany him on rounds, and being at his elbow as numerous “pearls” were dispensed, at almost daily intervals, by that consummately skilled clinician." (Bob Demers, RRT) more>
"Want to know why an Allied Health Professional should seek membership in the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP)? Because we can! The College offers membership to nonphysicians who are actively involved in clinical, academic, research, or administrative work in cardiopulmonary, surgical, or critical care medicine."
