The Association of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Division Directors (APCCSD) is composed of division directors in pulmonary, sleep and critical care medicine. The purpose of this group is to foster common knowledge and best practices regarding Division organization and management. This group will also focus on benchmarking common standards, leadership training, group problem-solving and mentorship as a collective resource for Division Directors.
The APCCSD has developed position papers, podcasts, webinars, and leadership training programs to help our division chiefs. The APCCSD holds an annual forum each year at the ATS International Conference in addition to virtual meetings during the year.
The APCCSD is operated as a committee/working group of the American Thoracic Society.
