Stanford Interstitial Lung Disease Symposium: Diagnosing and Treating Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases

Saturday, February 29, 2020, 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM PST, Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge (LKSC)

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.

Additional Specific Details

The focus will be on the current literature on diagnosis and treatment of non-IPF fibrosing interstitial lung diseases. Dr. Kevin K Brown, the senior principal investigator on the recent INBUILD and multiple other studies is the keynote speaker, and will be joining the rest of the Stanford ILD expert panel in discussing diagnostic protocols for real life non-IPF fibrotic ILD clinical cases, with specific focus on the role of anti-fibrotic therapies in treating these disorders in context of the recently published randomized controlled studies addressing this question.
