Program Overview
Get ready to challenge what you think you know about interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this highly interactive program, expert faculty will separate fact from fiction in ILD diagnosis, treatment, and care; tackling some of the most persistent myths that contributes to clinical uncertainty. Explore the latest evidence and guideline-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Each myth serves as a gateway to practical, targeted learning—from recognizing early red flags and refining diagnostic accuracy to personalizing therapy and navigating complex care decisions.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe the classification, pathophysiology, and early clinical features of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), including risk factors and initial signs.
- Implement evidence-based diagnostic strategies, emphasizing timely recognition, non-invasive tools, and multidisciplinary collaboration, to confirm ILD diagnosis.
- Integrate clinical guidelines and emerging data, to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies, to individualize treatment plans for patients with ILD.
