American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), a leading provider in innovative chest medicine education, clinical research and team-based care, and Springer Healthcare, a leading global provider of medical communications, pharma sales training programs, and medical education, have partnered to expand the reach of CHEST's state-of-the-art education and content to healthcare professionals (HCPs) worldwide.

Springer Healthcare collaborates with a network of medical experts and societies developing innovative programs that satisfy knowledge gaps across a multitude of disease states. These programs will now incorporate CHEST content, such as CHEST Recorded Sessions, CHEST SEEK™ Library, Board Review On-Demand, and eLearning programs, throughout their regions including Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.

"As we continue to grow our global reach, it is important that we make strong partnerships with companies like Springer Healthcare, so that CHEST content is readily accessible to HCPs worldwide to improve patient care," says Richard Newman, Senior Director of Strategy, Product & Global Development at CHEST.

CHEST provides education, communication, and research in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chest diseases to more than 19,000 members in over 100 countries across the world. CHEST hopes to leverage Springer Healthcare's 20+ offices across the globe to expand industry-supported medical education opportunities.

"Advances in medicine are constant. The knowledge and resources that CHEST provides to its stakeholders has a true impact on how medicine is practiced today. We are very excited to be a part of their initiative to reach more HCPs across the globe," says Louisa Mott, Strategic Partnerships Director from Springer Healthcare.
