Master Fellows
Master Fellows of CHEST are national or international Fellows of CHEST who have distinguished themselves by attaining professional preeminence. Because of their personal character and leadership; extraordinary contributions to medical research, clinical practice, quality improvement, or medical education; and years of enduring and outstanding service to CHEST, they have advanced chest medicine. This service to our organization is not limited to leaders of CHEST; it may include exceptional achievements in advancing our mission through consistent contributions to its educational programs and/or to the journal CHEST; work on behalf of The CHEST Foundation; advocacy on behalf of our patients and the profession; and/or elevation of CHEST’s role in the international scientific and professional community.
Masters are authorized to use the designation Master FCCP (Master of the American College of Chest Physicians) in connection with their professional activities, provided they continue to be a Fellow. The Master FCCP recipient shall receive a certificate bearing his or her name, waived registration to the CHEST Annual Meeting, and have their dues permanently waived.
