Diagnostic Challenges in Respiratory-Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases: Case-Based Microlearning
This CME/CMLE-accredited, case-based microlearning activity is designed to help laboratory team members increase their knowledge, skills, and competence in diagnosing various ILDs and making testing recommendations based on clinical practice guidelines, while also increasing their understanding of the signs, symptoms, and disease burden of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Every few days, several questions will be emailed or sent through the Qstream app, allowing learners to hone their diagnostic and decision-making skills in minutes each week.
This case-based microlearning activity includes the following topics: best practices in the interpretation of lung biopsy results in patients with ILDs, histologic findings that may indicate an alternate diagnosis, clinical practice guidelines for ILDs, the critical importance of multidisciplinary discussions in the diagnosis and management of patients with ILDs, ILD epidemiology, risk factors, comorbidities, and disease burden, and current antifibrotic treatment options for ILDs.
The activity offers 1.0 CME/CMLE credit.
