CHEST Immersion | Forum
Focused knowledge
from our leading experts.
CHEST Immersion Forum is an intensive, 1- or 2-day, hands-on learning experience specifically designed for sales and marketing professionals.
Led by top medical experts using the latest educational technology, Forum delivers key insights about diagnosis, treatment, and the patient journey.
Whether conducted at CHEST headquarters or your preferred venue, every Forum leverages the educational tools developed at CHEST’s nationally accredited Innovation, Simulation, and Training Center.
Once your team has participated in a Forum, they will feel more confident—ready to engage clinicians at a higher level and drive more productive conversations.
“The faculty that was assembled was so impressive. It was not lost on my team that they were being trained by the top global thought leaders, including those who write the guidelines. The session was, without question, the best training program I have been a part of in my 20-year career in the industry (mostly pulmonary).”
— General manager at a major pharmaceutical company
