Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a diverse group of more than 200 pulmonary disorders, each characterized by complex inflammatory and fibrotic processes that lead to progressive lung damage. Diagnostic delays—often exceeding 12 months—allow for the progression of irreversible fibrosis, which significantly worsens patient outcomes. Common misconceptions around management of complex ILD can further complicate patients getting the care they need.
In this CME breakfast symposium, presented by National Jewish Health, a panel of leading pulmonologists and rheumatologists specializing in ILD will address medical myths and misconceptions around diagnosis and management of fibrosing ILDs, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), and systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease-associated interstitial lung disease (SARD-ILD). In this interactive session, myths will be “busted” with current evidence, guidelines, and data on current and emerging treatments.
Target Audience:
Pulmonologists, Rheumatologists and advanced practice providers in those specialties.
