July 8, 2022

Read about the top sessions from Scientific Program Committee Chair for CHEST 2022, Subani Chandra, MD, FCCP, and CHEST 2023 Chair, Aneesa Das, MD, FCCP.

There will be more than 300 educational sessions at the upcoming CHEST 2022 Annual Meeting, which can be overwhelming for a first-time attendee or for someone who is interested in all things chest medicine.

To help break it down and share some sneak peeks, Scientific Program Committee Chair for CHEST 2022, Subani Chandra, MD, FCCP, and CHEST 2023 Chair, Aneesa Das, MD, FCCP, share their top session picks for CHEST 2022.

Dr. Chandra’s picks:

• Sessions on health care disparities:
  • Lung Health Disparities in America: Lessons from Five Cities About Trust and Empathetic Medicine (from the work of the CHEST Foundation)
  • Racial and Gender bias in Health care system (both as a physician and as a patient)
  • The Use of Race in Pulmonary Function Testing
  • Health care disparities in PAH
  • Disparities in the management of lung cancer
  • Addressing Disparities in Sleep Health
• Updates on topics spanning the breadth of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine:

  • Emerging Evidence in Asthma and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Overlap
• Interactive sessions:
  • Pardon the Interruption sessions
  • CHEST Challenge

In addition to the sessions, Dr. Chandra is most looking forward to reconnecting with her CHEST colleagues after 2 years of online CHEST meetings and, of course, the many simulation-based learning opportunities that no one provides better than CHEST!

Dr. Das’s picks:

• Pardon the Interruption 2022:
