Each committee or work group is unique in its own way. Committee openings are highly competitive, so please only apply to positions in which you are truly interested.
Reviewing the Details
Carefully review the expectations for the committees in which you are interested. Requirements vary by committee and position. To ensure you meet these requirements in terms of time, experience, and expectations, please read the Eligibility section of each committee.
Statement of Interest
Each committee opening requires a statement of interest (SOI), no more than 500 words. Make sure your SOI is personalized to the role to which you’re applying. It is highly encouraged to not use the same SOI for each position to which you are applying. Highlight your experience as it relates to that group’s roles and responsibilities as listed in each of the committee drop-down menus.
For example, if you are applying to the Scientific Presentations and Awards Committee, note that you have submitted posters/abstracts or have served as a grader; or, if you are interested in applying to the Training and Transitions Committee, note how you directly work with fellows in your institution, whether in serving as a program director or faculty member.
Please have all SOIs prepared before formally submitting your application.
Condensed CV
We ask that you upload a current condensed CV during the application process. Condensed CVs should be between 8 to 10 pages.
Letters of Recommendation
If you are applying for a position that requires a letter of recommendation (LOR), please refer to the Eligibility section of the committee description to ensure you obtain appropriate LORs.

CHEST is committed to establishing an inclusive and equitable leadership network that is representative of the diversity of not only our members but of the patients we serve. We ask that you please provide a brief statement discussing your commitment to equity and inclusion and how this commitment will meaningfully contribute to our larger goals in these areas.
