Medical Myth-Busting: Separating Fact from Fiction in ILD Diagnosis, Treatment and Care

Get ready to challenge what you think you know about interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this highly interactive program, expert faculty will separate fact from fiction in ILD diagnosis, treatment, and care; tackling some of the most persistent myths that contribute to clinical uncertainty. Explore the latest evidence and guideline-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Each myth serves as a gateway to practical, targeted learning—from recognizing early red flags and refining diagnostic accuracy to personalizing therapy and navigating complex care decisions. Come curious. Leave empowered.
