This article is part of Pulmonology Advisor‘s coverage of the CHEST 2019 meeting, taking place in New Orleans, LA. Our staff will report on medical research related to asthma, COPD, critical care medicine, and more conducted by experts in the field. Check back regularly for more news from CHEST 2019. |
The 2019 CHEST Annual Meeting will take place from Saturday, October 19, through Wednesday, October 23, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
New to this year’s meeting is the Fish Bowl (Furthering Innovation and Science for Health), an innovation competition inspired by the reality show Shark Tank. The Fish Bowl focuses on Clinical Disease and Education and will take place over 2 days: Monday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 22 at the Experience CHEST booth. CHEST calls it a “kinder, gentler, yet still competitive” version of Shark Tank, intended to disrupt current beliefs about pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
On Sunday, October 20, Quinn Capers IV, MD, will give a keynote address titled “But I’m Not Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, etc! Implicit Bias and Discrimination in Health Care.” Dr Capers, a professor of medicine and interventional cardiologist at the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University in Columbus, will highlight the potential effect of implicit bias in health care, as well as methods to identify and reduce biases in medical practices, and in admissions for medical school and residency/fellowship programs.
Case-based discussions, pro/con debates, simulations, CHEST Games for augmenting medical education, and bite-sized teaching — lectures designed to give attendees the information they need in a short, digestible form, which were introduced in 2018 — are among the this year’s 400 featured sessions.
