Learn from the top professionals in chest and critical care medicine. The honor and memorial lectures give you a unique opportunity to interact with and learn from experts who are recognized internationally for their contributions to science and medicine. College Medalist Award
Honorary Fellow Award The Honorary Fellowship is a time-honored award given to an individual who has uniquely contributed to cardiopulmonary and critical care medicine worldwide and/or whose creativity and vision have advanced the work of the ACCP. Distinguished Fellow Award The Distinguished Fellow Award was first conferred in 1976 and given to Alfred Soffer, MD, Master FCCP. The award is not an annual award but is conferred as appropriate to an ACCP Fellow who has held a leadership position in the ACCP and led significant society achievements. Edward C. Rosenow III, MD, Master FCCP/Master Teacher Honor Lecture D. Robert McCaffree, MD, MSHA, Master Fellow of the ACCP, is Professor of Medicine in the Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Section at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. He also is Chief of Staff at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center and Associate Dean for Veterans’ Affairs. Dr. McCaffree has served the College in many leadership roles, including ACCP President and President of The CHEST Foundation. He currently is completing his term as Chair of The CHEST Foundation. He represented the ACCP on the Koop-Kessler Congressional Advisory Committee on Health or Tobacco and testified before Congress on these issues. He has served as Chair of the Oklahoma Alliance for Health or Tobacco and initial Chair of the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Fund Board of Directors. Dr. McCaffree currently serves as a member of this board. The Edward C. Rosenow III, MD, Master FCCP Honor Lecture and the Master Teacher in Continuing Medical Education Award have been combined and renamed. This is a fitting union, as the Rosenow award honored an ACCP member who made an outstanding contribution to the mentorship and training of chest physicians or the overall development of the ACCP; and the Master Teacher Award recognized the innovative and exceptional contributions of a medical educator. Dr. Edward C. Rosenow has promoted the development and
training of hundreds of chest physicians during his 3 decades at the Mayo Clinic. Roger C. Bone Memorial Lecture Dr. Bernard is Melinda Owen Bass Professor of Medicine and Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN.

Dr. Bernard has written or coauthored more than 150 articles, book chapters, and editorials. As past Director of the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary, and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University, he oversaw a multifaceted lung research center in addition to directing his own research programs. Dr. Bernard also served in an advisory capacity for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. This memorial lecture was established in 1997 to honor Roger C. Bone, MD, Master FCCP. Dr. Bone made unprecedented advances in critical care, particularly in sepsis and sepsis research; empowered physicians to communicate with their patients and their families about end-of-life issues; and made significant society achievements. Murray Kornfeld Memorial Founders Lecture Dr. Hunninghake is Principal Investigator for the University of Iowa’s Clinical and Translational Science Award, and he serves as Director of the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science and the graduate program in translational biomedicine.

He also has served as ACCP Governor for the state of Iowa. As a major contributor to the field of pulmonary medicine, he was asked to present the 2006 Amberson Lecture at the American Thoracic Society Meeting. In 1974, this lecture was established in memory of Murray Kornfeld, founder of the Federation of American Sanatoria, the precursor organization to the ACCP. He envisioned a society of professionals to promote knowledge of thoracic medicine and publish a journal devoted to diseases of the chest. This award is traditionally conferred to a pioneer in pulmonary and critical care medicine who is developing innovative approaches and therapies expected to guide medicine for decades to come. Margaret Pfrommer Memorial Lecture in Long-term Mechanical Ventilation Dr. Benditt is Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He directs the Northwest Assisted-Breathing Center that focuses on the care of respiratory issues in patients with neuromuscular diseases of all types, as well as on noninvasive methods. A native of Seattle, Dr. Benditt received his medical degree at the University of Washington School of Medicine and completed his residency and pulmonary and critical care fellowship training at Boston University. His research interests center on breathing muscles in patients with COPD and neuromuscular diseases. He is past chair of the ACCP Home Care NetWork and is still involved with this group. Dr. Benditt also has served on the faculty several times for the ACCP Critical Care Board Review Course. This award was established in 1999 by Dr. Eveline Faure and Dr. Allen I. Goldberg to honor their lifelong colleague and friend, Margaret Pfrommer, a polio survivor and patient advocate. It was established to ensure that individuals who use mechanical ventilation, and their families, can work more effectively in partnership with members of their health-care team.
