CHEST After Hours

Present at CHEST After Hours in Boston:
A CHEST Event Unlike Any Other
 

Submit for the opportunity to share your story with peers 

 

Medicine is more than tests and diagnoses, and being a clinician is so much more than knowing treatments and procedures. There is an essential humanistic side of medicine that CHEST encourages clinicians to embrace—one that celebrates empathy and invites reflection.  

Storytelling can serve as a valuable tool for advocacy, peer-to-peer education, aligning with patients, and more. It can also be used to build community, convey hope, and process the grief inherent to our work. 

We’re looking for three presenters to share a piece of their personal story as a clinician in chest medicine at CHEST After Hours, Monday, October 7, in Boston. Presenters need not be expert storytellers—the journey of presenting at CHEST After Hours includes a series of live virtual storytelling workshops in the months leading up to the conference to help presenters hone their stories. Presentations can include, but are not limited to, lived experiences, life lessons, lasting patient encounters, and the intersection of medicine and art. 

Beyond telling an interesting story, we also encourage you to incorporate other artistic expressions, such as music or art, as a complement to the experience your story is providing. 

Be a part of this special live performance by submitting to be a presenter at CHEST After Hours.
