Early Career Scholarship 

The Early Career Scholarship provides graduating fellows with access to select CHEST education offerings for 1 year. In alignment with our core values of inclusion, innovation, advocacy, community, and integrity, CHEST recognizes that a diverse chest medicine workforce is the key to unlocking best patient outcomes. Supporting the development of CHEST members from historically excluded populations enriches the field of chest medicine and moves us closer to achieving health and professional equity. The goal of the scholarship is to increase and attract young clinicians to CHEST; introduce them to leadership opportunities within CHEST; and to build a meaningfully diverse pipeline of future members, volunteers, and leaders for the organization. 

The Early Career Scholarship is supported by CHEST and generous gifts from our members.
