Association of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Program Directors (APCCMPD)

In 1984, the APCCMPD was organized with the basic mission of improving communications among Program Directors, providing a mechanism of communication among stakeholder organizations relative to matters involving training, the quality of training, the possibility of accreditation, and the funding of individuals seeking training in pulmonary medicine. From 1995-2014, the American College of Chest Physicians professionally-managed the operations of the APCCMPD. In 2009, the APCCMPD incorporated to form a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization.
