APP Articles Ranked #1 & #2 in CHEST Physician Magazine

We have exciting news to share from our recent annual in-person meeting for CHEST Physician Magazine. The Association of Pulmonary Advanced Practice Providers (APAPP) has once again demonstrated the immense value and reach of the content we contribute, proving that the insights and perspectives of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) are essential to the pulmonary and critical care community.
At the meeting, CHEST Physician Magazine shared the readership and access metrics for all articles published throughout 2025. The results for the APAPP-led content were truly outstanding:
- #1 and #2 Most Read Articles: Two of our very own APP Intersection articles were recognized as the highest-read articles published in the entire magazine this past year!
- Advanced Practice Respiratory Therapist: The New Advanced Practice Provider, By Mindy Conklin, MRT, RRT, RRT-ACCS
- Bronchoscopy: An Emerging Role for Advanced Practice Providers by Rebecca Priebe, MSN, ACNP-BC, FCCP.
This incredible achievement highlights the quality, relevance, and impact of the topics our authors are covering.

- Top Access Section: APAPP’s content is not only being read, but it’s being sought out! Our collective contributions make the APP Intersection the fourth most accessed portion of the CHEST Physician Magazine overall. This places us among the top resources for publication’s readership, confirming again the growing importance of the APP voice in this specialty area.

We want to give a huge thank you to our authors! This success is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of the APPs who contribute to the APP Intersection column. Your commitment to sharing clinical knowledge, professional development advice, and unique perspectives is what drives this interest.
To all APAPP members and contributing authors: Thank you for helping elevate our profession and for making our section a must-read for pulmonologists, critical care specialists, and other healthcare professionals.
These metrics aren’t just numbers; they represent real-world impact. They show that APPs are leading conversations, informing clinical practice, and shaping the future of pulmonary medicine. We look forward to an even more impactful year of collaboration with CHEST Physician Magazine in 2026.
