New Opportunities to Identify, Prevent, and Manage Fibrosis in Children’s Interstitial and Diffuse Lung Disease - Enduring Module

Did you know that only 20% of surveyed physicians identified themselves as confident in most areas of diagnosing, understanding evidence based treatment options and disease mechanisms for pulmonary fibrosis in our pediatric patients? The Childhood ILD (chILD) Network has identified these needs in the medical community and aim to significantly improve these statistics. chILD is a term used to describe over 200 rare conditions of children with diffuse and interstitial lung disease that can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

This module will breakdown the findings and highlights of a two-day, interdisciplinary, hybrid course held in February, 2023 in Colorado featuring national thought leaders setting the stage to dive deeper into this complex, ever changing disease state. Please join us as we will show the outcome of a series of conversations on the outcomes of new studies and what the data means for the future of these rare conditions in our pediatric patient populations.
