Primary Purpose
The Journal CHEST® will launch the Richard S. Irwin Medical Publishing Fellowship to acquaint early career clinicians with key aspects of medical publishing and research design and to provide further support for the activities of the Journal. The program will honor longtime Editor in Chief, Richard S. Irwin, MD, FCCP, and, over time, build a cohort of engaged and informed clinician researchers who understand the increasingly complex and expanding demands on the validation and dissemination of clinical research. This opportunity will be unique among respiratory and critical care journals, and further demonstrate CHEST’s leadership in the field.
