Overview

This in-person summit is  specifically tailored to educate  primary care providers (physicians, allied health professionals, trainees included) engaged in patient care for  primary health care  regarding management of interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Patients, family members, and caretakers are also invited to attend.
 
Interstitial lung diseases are  a heterogeneous, complex group of  non infectious acute and chronic, lung diseases  that may be primary or secondary to systemic diseases , Over 200 causes/conditions including autoimmune, genetic, environmental factors, medications prescribed other health problems are associated with interstitial lung disease.  Interstitial pneumonia of unknown cause is termed idiopathic interstitial pneumonia that includes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The prognosis of IPF  is often poor; median survival is 3-5 years from time of diagnosis. Delays in diagnosis are common and associated with worse survival.

The summit is created in honor of  Candace Norquist, a patient at the Center for Interstitial Lung Disease, who unfortunately passed away as a consequence of pulmonary fibrosis. Ms. Norquist and her family very much wished the primary care providers be educated to prompt the general practitioners to take the necessary steps to make an early diagnosis of ILD and appropriate treatment interventions. The program will engage and educate providers through didactic lectures and panel discussion.
