UC San Diego Pulmonary Virtual Clinic: Margaret Visit 1 (via RealCME)
Activity Name: UC San Diego Pulmonary Virtual Clinic: Margaret Visit 1 (via RealCME)
Activity Information: This activity will present a Caucasian female who presents with progressive dyspnea on exertion.

As a learner you will have the opportunity to assess her clinical situation, using the initial chart information provided, and be given the opportunity to request additional information to determine what is happening as well as the next step in solving the clinical problem presented. You will also hear from clinical experts in different specialties who will weigh in on this scenario. You will have the opportunity to view videos on the topics of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic concordance featuring interchanges between simulated patients and healthcare professionals featuring commentary by a communications expert.

Primary Audience: Pulmonologists, Primary Care Physicians, Radiologists, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Pharmacists, Physician Assistants, Respiratory Therapists, Managed Care Associates

After completing this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

1. Distinguish Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) from other forms of interstitial lung disease and other respiratory disorders

2. Delineate updated and evolving guideline recommendations for the treatment of patients with IPF, including those with concomitant comorbidities

3. Identify key diagnostic criteria and methods to accurately diagnose IPF and initiate prompt disease intervention

4. Distinguish current and emerging data on pharmacologic therapies for IPF and their potential role in delaying disease progression and improving patient management

5. Identify and mitigate patient and clinician attitudes and behaviors that create barriers to diagnostic and therapeutic concordance to overcome therapeutic inertia and appropriately assimilate new knowledge into clinical practice.
