New Opportunities to Identify, Prevent and Manage Fibrosis in Children’s Interstitial and Diffuse Lung Disease 2024
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. Please join us to participate in a series of conversations on the outcomes of these studies and what the data means for the future of these rare conditions in our pediatric patient populations.
New Opportunities to Identify, Prevent and Manage chILD is an educational event offered throughout 2024. Each session will feature National thought leaders presenting their findings on this new, innovative series of treatments for pediatric fibrosis.

Commercial Support
This activity is supported by an independent educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals.
On-Demand Learning: Interstitial and Diffuse Lung Disease Online Module
Jump start your education to identify and manage pediatric ILD cases with Children's Hospital Colorado's enduring module, "New Opportunities to Identify, Prevent, and Manage Fibrosis in Children’s Interstitial and Diffuse Lung Disease," available now, free of charge!
Target Audience
This activity is designed for Pediatricians, Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Physicians, Pediatric and Adult Pulmonologists, Rheumatologists, Oncologists, Immunologists, Pediatric Intensivists, Neonatologists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Advanced Practice Providers, Basic and Translational Scientists, and Clinical Research Coordinators.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the conditions associated with childhood interstitial and diffuse lung disease (chILD).
- Review the conditions associated with pulmonary fibrosis in older children.
- List the diagnostic criteria and ongoing longitudinal follow up measurements in older children with pulmonary fibrosis.
- Describe the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis in older children with chILD.
- Identify the interaction needed amongst different health care professionals (pediatricians, different specialists,) with the family and patient.
- Describe the basic pathophysiologic mechanisms in different chILD disorders that may help accelerate therapy
