OVERVIEW

The goal of this  virtual multidisciplinary Symposium is to provide clinicians with in-depth and interactive sessions on the critical aspects of care for patients with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Sessions will cover advances in diagnostics of ILD, management of acute ILD exacerbations, and what’s new in lung transplantation for patients with advanced ILD. How to provide supportive and palliative care will also be discussed.
