Welcome

It is a pleasure to invite you to beautiful Vancouver for CHEST 2010. The Scientific Program Committee, the ACCP NetWorks, and members are developing an outstanding program to address your education needs, and the international faculty will provide essential updates on patient care, new knowledge, and practice management strategies.

CHEST 2010 will take advantage of innovative education approaches to enhance the relevance of the presentations. The highly popular ACCP Simulation Center will offer hands-on experiences, and clinicians will be challenged during Clinical Case Puzzlers. CHEST 2010 will highlight the best of new research with abstract sessions, and late-breaking research will provide important updates. Once again, the Clinical Resource Center will feature exhibits and additional clinical learning opportunities.

Fresh off its exciting experience hosting the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Vancouver offers a gorgeous ocean and rugged mountain setting in the Pacific Northwest. CHEST 2010 will take place in a new ocean-side convention center that features state-of the-art technology and is mere steps from the best sights, hotels, and restaurants. Come join us for an exciting educational, collegial, and social experience in Vancouver!
