This CME event, led by the Stanford Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine, seeks to fulfill the needs of practicing pulmonologists, primary care physicians, advanced-practice providers, and allied health care practitioners in the academic and community settings to achieve an accurate diagnosis and implement a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with interstitial lung disease.
A team of multidisciplinary experts will address common challenges with an emphasis on the role of accurate radiographic interpretation, in combination with diagnostic testing and classification, and disease management strategies. The goal of the symposium is to improve the delivery of early, appropriate, and comprehensive care to the patient with the interstitial lung disease.
