Information About e-Membership (International Members Only)

including the CHEST journal. E-members will not receive the printed
versions of the CHEST journal or other ACCP publications in the
mail.
- e-members pay lower e-Membership dues instead of $174 per year.
This e-member dues rate is based on the World Bank Classification

e-Dues by Country).

programs and other offerings with direct links to our Web site.
