Abstract
The American College of Chest Physicians is our only true multidisciplinary chest society. Its disciplines include pulmonologists, cardiologists, thoracic and cardiac surgeons, immunologists, allergists, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and pathologists. One of the emblems of the American College of Chest Physicians exhibits the likeness of René Laennec who invented the stethoscope which, ironically, ties the various disciplines of the chest together through an auditory link. Although a major purpose for the existence of the ACCP is to increase competence in each of the various specialties, the primary goal is to encourage the multidisciplinary units to become interdisciplinary.
