Why Attend?
Childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a complex and rare group of respiratory disorders that affect children. Diagnosis is complicated and challenging, and patients often go undiagnosed for dangerously long periods of time. Overlaps in patient presentation and symptomatology, among the collective chILD disorders and other pediatric respiratory disorders, frequently contributes to missed and delayed diagnoses, frustrating parents and clinicians alike.
It is crucial for pediatricians to be knowledgeable about chILD because early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate management can significantly impact a child's quality of life and long-term outcomes.
Join pediatric pulmonologists Dr. Robin Deterding, Dr. Jonathan Popler, and Dr. Elizabeth Fiorino for a 90-minute-deep dive into chILD.
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the prevalence and burden of interstitial lung diseases among children
- Initiate diagnostic assessments that lead to earlier identification of chILD and make appropriate referrals to specialists
- Apply strategies to improve communication and provide education to parents and caregivers
