The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) is a medical organization consisting of
physicians and non-physician specialists in the field of
chest medicine, which includes
pulmonology,
thoracic surgery, and
critical care medicine. "Fellow of the College of Chest Physicians" (
FCCP) is a title given to a
doctor who specializes in
pulmonology,
thoracic surgery, and
critical care medicine. FCCP is used as a
post-nominal title, such as John Citizen, MD, FCCP. To be eligible for the Fellowship, a
physician in the
United States of America or
Canada must be board
certified in both a primary board and an applicable subspecialty board, have at least 18 months experience in the field, and be sponsored by two Fellows of the College. Non-physicians who do active work in
chest medicine — including those with a
Ph.D.,
Pharm.D.,
D.Sc., or a doctorally-prepared
nurse — are also eligible for the fellowship. Physicians outside of the United States and Canada are also eligible for the Fellowship. International Fellows (also given the designation FCCP) must have three years' experience in their field after the completion of training.
