In October 2014, a collaboration between CHEST and the Turkish Respiratory Society (TRS) culminated in the first CHEST-TRS Pulmonary Board Review Course in Çesme, Turkey. The program was organized by Semra Bila<scaps>ç</scaps>eroglu, MD, FCCP, Governor-at-Large of the CHEST Council of Global Governors. With the participation of 16 faculty from Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and the United States, the 2-day course was designed to review major clinical topics in the curriculum of the Turkish Board of Respiratory Disease. The program included lecture-based and interactive sessions on physiology, COPD, lung cancer, bronchology, infections, venous thromboembolism, pulmonary hypertension, diffuse lung diseases, and pleural disease.

The CHEST-TRS Board Review expands on a model started in Greece with a collaboration of CHEST with the Hellenic Thoracic Society (HTS) that led to CHEST-HTS Board Review Courses in Athens in 2009 and 2012. After the success of these courses in Greece and Turkey, we intend for CHEST to collaborate with other regional and national societies to conduct Board Review courses in chest medicine in other countries.
