Getting to know our incoming CHEST President

4. And finally, what is your charge to the members and new Fellows of CHEST?

The simple and overused answer would be to get involved. Without question, I believe that, and my start with the American College of Chest Physicians began as a member of the Thoracic Oncology NetWork, but I want to be a bit more specific. I challenge our members to find a niche within the College that they have a passion for, and in turn, they should challenge us to do better for our members and patients within that chosen area of expertise. There are so many ways to get involved, whether it be our NetWorks, the e-communities, practice guidelines, or helping to teach in our simulation center. CHEST is an extremely welcoming organization, and your passion will find a home here and will be nurtured and supported by other like members and the CHEST staff.
